In an interview with American radio host, Angie Martinez of Power 105.1fm, Tiwa Savage has disclosed that she is being blackmailed with a sex video she made with her current partner.
According to Tiwa Savage, the video was accidentally uploaded on Snapchat by her partner who deleted it immediately after he realized the mistake. However, it was too late.
Tiwa Savage told Martinez,
“Yesterday, I was leaving a radio station and I was in my car when my road manager sent me a message. She said I should check my phone. I checked it and there was a video, and I was just like ‘Wow!’,”
“I asked him where he got it from and he said he received it about 20 minutes earlier. The video was sent to him and it is a tape of me and the person I am dating right now. The first thing I did after I got off the phone was that I sent it to my manager and asked what we should do. The person is asking for money now. The person I am dating is going crazy too. My manager asked how much the person is asking for.”
Tiwa Savage has however decided that she would not be paying the blackmailer because if she does, he could come back in future requesting more money.
She said,
“I decided I was not going to pay the person because if I do, two months from now, three months down the line or even two years later, you are going to come back again. Who knows, if I send the money, the person will probably release it. I am not going to let anyone blackmail me for doing something natural.”
She went on to say that she could also decide to release the video herself.
“No part of me wants to pay the person. That is what is getting me angry. If you want to put it out, put it out. I am that crazy that I can put it out myself. You are not making any money from me. This was an intimate moment with someone I am dating. The person I am dating is not famous, he is a regular guy and his whole business is about to be out.”
“He is more concerned about me because he knows that I am going to be more affected. My mother and my son having to see it. I am going to talk to my son about it. For me, it is when he is older at about 15 and someone is rude to him at the playground and they make reference to the tape. I have to brace him up.”
Tiwa Savage’s decision to not pay the blackmailer should be applauded because no one should have to be blackmailed over something as natural as having sex with their partner. And, the fact that this is still happening in 2021 is totally pathetic.
