“There’s No Bad Blood With Davido, I Have Love for Him” — Tiwa Savage

Nigerian music star Tiwatope Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has opened up about her fallout with Davido and addressed long-standing rumors about her relationship with Wizkid.

Speaking in an interview with The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, the singer shed light on her December 2023 clash with Davido and clarified that speculation about a romance with Wizkid was misplaced.

Savage explained that the rift with Davido started after she posted an Instagram story featuring Sophia Momodu, the singer’s first baby mama. She noted that her friendship with Momodu developed naturally because their children attend the same school.

“Our kids have been friends since they were one, and they’re 10 now. I’ve known David for years, but I also built a bond with Sophia. I didn’t know there were issues between them,” she said.

She recalled an encounter at a social gathering where her greeting with Momodu was misinterpreted by Davido. “He felt I was taking sides, which wasn’t true. She’s simply the mother of my son’s friend,” Savage explained.

According to her, Davido misread the situation and sent her harsh messages, warning her to “be careful in Lagos.” Feeling threatened, Savage filed a police petition but stressed it was out of precaution, not hostility.

“I reached out to his family first, hoping to resolve it privately. When I got no response and the threats continued, I acted to ensure safety. It wasn’t about revenge,” she said.

Despite the incident, she insisted there was no lasting animosity. “I haven’t spoken to him since, but I have love for him. Our kids come first, and that’s what matters.”

On Wizkid, Savage dismissed speculation about a romantic past. “I love and respect Wizkid, but it’s not about him,” she clarified. She added that a previous secret relationship she once described as “embarrassing” was with another public figure, not Wizkid.
