In a society like Nigeria where na
everyone holy pass except the one caught in the act, Tiwa Savage was verbally
murdered when her sex tape video surfaced online. Around October 2022 shortly
after she broke the news of the sex tape herself stating that she was being
blackmailed by someone.
Amidst the verbal violence on social
media, the Afrobeat singer has proven that she isn't just the queen of Afrobeat
but of bloggers by referring to the sex tape in her newly released
collaboration with Asake titled loaded. She said:
"Awon blogger blogger t'ofe fimi
gba star
Sex tape ko le baye mi je"
As usual, Tiwa's reference to the sex
tape spurred a fresh argument and narrative on social media street and violence
quarters. While some think it is shameful and unreasonable of her to wake the
sleeping dog, others are impressed by her action. Quick question, can any issue be permanently buried on social
media? Definitely not, hence, if Tiwa didn't bring up the sex tape issue,
someone else would have. Her ability to control the narrative and make jokes
with it on and offline is impressive.
The interesting fact is both the
violence army against Tiwa and the ever supportive team are all vibing to the
songs as loaded proves to be an instant hit, after topping the Nigerian Apple
music chart in less than 24 hours of release. While the visual for the song
gathered over 1.5 million YouTube views in less than 48 hours. the hit song tops
music chart.
Tiwa reference to the sex tape can be
seen an interesting crisis management strategy and a punchy return or response
to those hating on her. Making a stylish entrance, Tiwa Savage discusses her
critics, commenting:
“They wan jot something dem go learn
lesson
Opolopo, I dey carry first t’oba she bala
bala, dem go come lesson
Emi dagboru (Omo labasi)"
Dismissing the impact of the tape,
she used the famous line from Black Sheriff's 'Kwaku The Traveller' when she
said: “Na who never fuck, hands in the air!”
With this new release, we can affirm
that Tiwa savage is nobody's mate and she is the queen of naija music. Loaded
was incredible composed and delivered.
