Nigerian award-winning singer, Tiwa Savage, has revealed that her leaked sex tape, which caused a major stir on social media in 2021, was the result of a bet orchestrated by her then-boyfriend.

Speaking in a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, the Afrobeats star disclosed that the incident was not an accident, as earlier suggested, but a betrayal.

“I actually did that with my boyfriend. He said he accidentally pressed send when he was trying to save it. But I later found out that it was a bet with his friends,” Savage explained.

The video, recorded without her knowledge, was initially linked to an attempt at blackmail after she refused to pay to keep it from being released. Despite the controversy, Tiwa Savage has continued to rise as one of Africa’s most influential female artists, using her platform to speak on resilience, betrayal, and the pressures of stardom.
