The mother of one recounted going through emotional trauma stemming from her adult tape, divorce, multiple heartbreaks, and breakups, which gradually built up over time.
Savage revealed that she felt emotionally low for a while and needed to channel the pain physically, which led her to self-harming, a practice she says still leaves scars to this day. The conversation turned deeply emotional, igniting hot takes from fans across social media.
The caption to the interview wrote:
“@tiwasavage opens up about the trauma that shaped the music in her most vulnerable album to date, This One Is Personal. I want to thank her for her openness during our conversation and the courage it takes to share personal stories like these with the world through art.”

Tiwa Savage tackles “Big 3” tag in Nigerian industry
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Tiwa Savage revived a debate in the Afrobeats industry by challenging the established “Big 3” narrative.
TheTalk.NG reports that the term ‘Big 3’ only recognises music stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
In a recent interview, Savage condemned the list as she argued why it was easy for them to be placed above other artists in the country.
