Speaking on her career, Tiwa described the fierce drive that’s fueled her rise to fame. “I’m a beast when it comes to my work.I’ll call you twenty times if something needs to get done. If you give me a reason it’s not, I’ll find a way to make it happen.”

Savage also spoke about her “phoenix era,” a period of reinvention and resilience after facing significant life challenges. “I am in my phoenix era; I even have a phoenix tattoo on my neck,” she explained.
“She’s gone through the fire, and I am just getting out of it. It’s like a reinvention. I am coming out stronger in terms of love, heartbreak, just where I am in life.”
Reflecting on her journey, she shared, “I’m at a stage where I am starting to accept certain things, set boundaries, and just be happy with what I have achieved. This is the rebirth of Tiwa Savage.”
Looking to the future, Tiwa expressed her ambitions beyond music. “I still have much more to do. I want to do movies, start a skincare line, expand my NGO work, and maybe even open a music school,” she shared, underscoring her desire to make an even greater impact in the years to come.
As a role model, Tiwa acknowledged the responsibility that comes with her public image. “It’s something I had to embrace,” she admitted.
“As much as I’m seen as a role model, I still have to be true to myself. When I make mistakes, I address them, because I’m human—that’s part of being a role model.”

Then I sent him a picture; God gave me grace; I didn’t know how I did it. I did a recording of the time and the date, were on my phone for the video.
“I recorded it when we got to where we would sleep. When we left, I didn’t have up to N10,000 in my account, but I decided this was it. I had nothing; all my jewelry was taken away, and I fainted with that. I was wondering where to start from. I cried so much that day because I didn’t have money to get an accommodation”.
The couple was embroiled in a paternity dispute over their daughter with Saheed requesting a DNA test in 2021.
