Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has finally addressed her viral statement about being open to becoming a second wife, revealing the emotional reasons behind her words.
In a recent conversation, the 45-year-old singer explained that her comment was not a genuine desire to become someone’s second wife but rather an expression of pain and frustration from her past experiences.
“I was a first wife, where did that get me? I got married as the only wife, but here we are. I’m tired of being heartbroken; maybe I’m getting it wrong. Maybe I should try being a second wife,” she said.
Tiwa clarified that her words were taken out of context and that she was simply expressing how heartbreak had affected her emotionally.
“It’s not my choice though. I don’t want to. I wish I could tell my truth, but I will be dragged,” she added.
