UK based Podcaster, Tolani Soneye, has hosted Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Tiwa Savage on her latest episode of The Receipts Podcast, in a candid and insightful conversation.
The podcast, which is known for its honest and unfiltered discussions, provided a platform for Tiwa Savage to share her thoughts on success, aging, relationships, and other aspects of her life.
During the conversation, Tiwa Savage reflected on the blessings of achieving success at an older age, noting that despite facing age-shaming and criticism, she remains confident and proud of her accomplishments.
Tiwa Savage emphasized that her success is not just about her, but also about inspiring and empowering others, particularly young women.
“They try so hard to age-shame me. Every single day, they say a woman of your age still wearing a bikini. But I have the body. It’s the most celebrated when you look good in your older age but they will always throw things like when her son grows up, he is going to see this, she stated.
According to Tiwa Savage, her son will be proud of her, contrary to the opinions of the critics who have criticized her severally for wearing revealing clothes at her age.
“My son will be like, my mum is a powerful and beautiful woman. I feel like God has done this on purpose because I feel like God delayed my success for a purpose. I used to be like, why was I not successful at my 20’s or whatever I didn’t start until my 30’s but it is to bless other people. It is to bless that girl in her 25. They should open my page and be like, she started in her 30’s. So, I still have time,” she stated.
While also opening up about her experiences in relationships, she revealed that she has never left a partner solely because of infidelity, saying that she prioritizes her own well-being and has ended relationships due to issues such as emotional abuse, drug-abuse, and dishonesty.
Tiwa Savage said, “I have never left a man because he cheated on me. But for so many reasons like drug-abuse, emotional abuse, being ghosted, stealing. But I don’t thnk I have ever had orgasm. I don’t even have sex toys but I believe in Monogamy.”
Throughout the conversation, Tolani Soneye provided a supportive and non-judgmental space for Tiwa Savage to share her thoughts and experiences.
