Afrobeats icon Tiwa Savage has finally addressed the buzz surrounding her viral comment about being open to becoming a second wife.
The award-winning singer revealed that her statement, which quickly spread across social media, came from a place of deep emotion and sincerity rather than intent.
According to the 45-year-old music star, her past experiences with love have left her with emotional scars she seldom discusses, and sometimes those feelings surface publicly.
Reflecting on her previous marriage, Tiwa admitted that being the first and only wife did not spare her from heartbreak.
She said:
“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.”
However, Tiwa clarified that her comment was not an expression of genuine interest in polygamy. She stressed that she had no desire to become a second wife, explaining that her words were born out of frustration and emotional truth, not intent.
She explained:
“It’s not my choice, though. I don’t want to. I wish I could tell my truth, but I will be dragged.”

@Clarissa Davis:”I think I’d be better in a second marriage because I’m older. I was my ex-husband’s second wife. He’s on his third. Seems happier. I’m still looking for who I’ll spend my golden ticket (the golden years) on. We were very young, grew up together, in that marriage. Now I know what I want and need out of a partner”
@Christopher Kezie Ikeowa:”A time comes in one’s life that he should face reality and push aside all the fantasies playing in his brain. That’s wisdom”
@Folasheyi Aremu Adewole”Tell tiwa to dp me, I got something for her”
@Muideen Babatunde Eleniyan:”Where ever you found your peace is your home being the first, second or only one is not the thing now”
@Kyoko Lo-Ha:”It’s not for everyone, but those who can do it…. It’s beautiful. What I don’t get is people having more than one child and talking about a spouse can’t love more than one spouse. How you loving all them kids? “
