In an Instagram post on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, the 44-year-old songstress addressed misconceptions about her financial status, urging individuals not to approach her for money simply because of her success.
Tiwatope Omolara Savage, a stalwart in the Nigerian music industry since 1996, rose to prominence with her soulful voice and captivating performances. Born in Isale Eko, Lagos, Savage’s journey to stardom took her to London at the age of eleven, where she completed her secondary schooling, laying the foundation for her illustrious career.
Despite her achievements, including numerous hit songs and acting roles, Savage’s personal life has also been in the spotlight. Her marriage to Tunji Balogun in 2013 captured public attention, but the couple announced their separation in 2018. Nonetheless, they continue to co-parent their son, maintaining an amicable relationship.
In her recent Instagram post, Savage addressed the public perception of her wealth, emphasizing that financial success does not entitle others to solicit money from her. She emphasized the importance of hard work, stating, “We all have the same 24 hours in a day, go hustle.”
The timing of Savage’s statement coincides with her latest musical endeavors, including the release of the song “100 Million” in collaboration with afrobeat sensation Odumodublvck. Rumors suggesting a significant monetary giveaway further fueled discussions about Savage’s financial status, prompting her to clarify her position on social media.
While acknowledging her wealth, Savage expressed a commitment to personal growth and self-improvement in 2024, signaling her determination to elevate her craft and inspire others through her music and actions.
