Tiwa Savage's Response To Her Sex Tape: Hit or Miss?

 


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.
