The Real Touching Love Story Of Tiwa Savage And Tee Billz

A man has got to do what he wants to do at his own time.At their engagement ceremony which held in Lagos at The Arc event centre Lekki, months ago, Tiwa Savage gave an edited version of her love story with Tee Billz - according to what she revealed through a documentary shown at the wedding, she met with Tunji Balogun in 2010 through a mutual friend Wale and at that instance, she fell in love with his charisma. She played hard to get....but somehow they fell in love!
However, at the elaborate white wedding that took place at the Armani Hotel in Dubai...Tiwa gave another version -unedited version - of their story.

In her words; I met Tee Billz in Los Angeles, at Timaya's concert actually and I was at that time looking for a manager and he didn’t listen to my cd unfortunately. So when I saw him, I was a bit angry, I was like I dropped my songs a few weeks ago and am the next big thing and you are missing out and he was like wow calm down, who are you?

And then funny enough the next thing he said was, I am going to marry you...he finally proposed years later, we had actually come back from Dubai a few days earlier and spent a week there, I actually thought he was going to propose to me there.
I was hoping he would propose while we were in Dubai....day 1, day 2, day 3 all the way to the 7th day and nothing happened. I was a bit disappointed and was worried like Oh My God, is he ever going to propose.

But a few days later, on my birthday, he said to me, I think we should go out with some friends so I was like hell no, I don’t want to go anywhere, I want to be at home, I want to reflect on my life (laughs).

So my friend Elohor called me and said every body is waiting for you, just come out so I finally did and then it happened, he went on his knees and I didn’t even wait to hear what he was saying because every body was screaming so much, I don’t even know if he actually asked me to marry him but I just screamed yes (laughs). I actually want to thank him specially because he has been a blessing to me."

Singer Tiwa Savage In Another Burst Up : Loses Her Cool At The Airport



Someone needs to calm her down ooo, we all know our security personnels can be quite difficult, but always getting in a fight with them doesn't tell good of one's self, she has to not let all the fame get into her head.

 Singer, Tiwa Savage does seem to be a a no-nonsense lady who doesn’t spare whoever angers her.

 According to PUNCH, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport last Monday, Saturday Beats watched how Tiwa descended on a member of staff of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company who she said was “rude” to her.

 The Eminado crooner, spotted in a black and white ensemble, was seen arguing and quarrelling with the NAHCO staff and her action drew a little crowd. The NAHCO lady was unfazed.

by Tiwa’s fame and didn’t allow her to intimidate her as she told the people around that she wasn’t rude to Tiwa.

“I was not rude to her. I only told her to go and board since she had checked in her luggage. I wonder how that could mean that I was rude to her,” Saturday Beats overheard the NAHCO staff saying.

Not giving the lady another look, Tiwa eventually entered the boarding gate alongside her colleagues.

Tiwa and some other Nigerian artistes, Saturday Beats gathered, were on their way to Mauritius on board an Emirate flight.

 Remember that it some months ago that the singer had an encounter with a policeman and she allegedly removed his beret from his head and almost landed in big trouble for assault.

''Why I Got Raunchy In ‘Wanted’ Video'' - Tiwa Savage Explains


 Mavins first lady Tiwa Savage, has been under fire since releasing a raunchy music video for her new track ‘Wanted’.

Tiwa Savage won a lot of hearts after she dropped ‘Eminado’, but it seems like this new single has sparked directly the opposite.

The 34 year-old married star has been called all sorts of names after she released the racy video.

However, when she was named female artist of the year at Saturday’s MTV Africa Music Awards, in South Africa, she made a point of bringing out the one person who has supported her even when the video for Wanted (and Love Me, Love Me) attracted the disapproval of TV broadcasters and parents – her husband, Tunji Balogun.

Speaking to The Times about the backlash against her and why she decided to go semi-unclad, she said:
“[Being s*xual] is something we’re comfortable with behind closed doors but very uncomfortable with in public. But, fortunately, as artists we have the platform to do things that a lot of people might not be able to do. I felt like I was at a stage in my life at which I was very comfortable in my skin.

“I’d worked on my body and I wanted to do a video that was pushing the envelope – that would have people talking and open up a conversation.”

Savage said her video was clearly rated for people over 18.
“I feel that while being a role model I also need to explore my life as a woman and target the adult market.

“There are a lot of people who love the video and are inspired. You learn you can’t please everyone, so you do what feels right at the time.”

She said she wasn’t surprised that some broadcasters had censored the video.
“A lot of times you look at an artist and you think what they do on stage is their lifestyle, but just because we portray a certain thing on stage doesn’t mean when we get off the stage we sleep with every guy we see,” she said.

“It’s just a persona. I don’t think anyone can look at my life and see any scandal.
“That’s what parents should be teaching their children. Whether Tiwa Savage does it or not, they will have access to certain things that are bad, so we need to teach them how to decide between good and bad.”

Savage was recently the subject of an open letter by a Nigerian housewife, who advised her “not to give in to the pressure of the ‘s*x sells’ attitude in the music industry”, and not to “add to the factors contributing to societal decadence”, and even “I didn’t want to say this, but a husband who truly loves you is supposed to protect his wares and not make you do whatever to stay in the public eye”. Source

Nigerian Housewife Writes Open Letter To Tiwa Savage Over Her 'Wanted' Music Video(READ)

 

 This Post was written and first published by NaijaHousewife

Dear Tiwa, 
I am a major fan of yours and I have always loved your music right from the very start. I know how bad you must have felt seeing the way your fans reacted to your recently released video ‘Wanted’. I have decided to take time out to explain things to you and make you understand why we reacted the way we did.

Tiwa, from inception, you have been perceived to be an Ambassador of the Youth. You
represented the quintessential sexy female role-model, especially in the entertainment world. When we listen to your songs, it sends a message across to the youth. There is always something to ‘take home’ in your songs: for the young female, how to be simple and sexy without being trashy; for the young aspiring person, how hardwork pays; for the up and coming musician, how to sing songs that not only inspire the youths but motivates them in focusing on their dreams. My point exactly…we just loved you and your music (oh! the freshness of your songs). 

After all these and then the next thing we get from you is…’Wanted’! It was simply too much for some of us to handle. We were so shocked because for some of us, we thought “So she don join Maheeda group of companies!” Please do not blame the fans for reacting the way they did. You know how it is when you have a child who does and says all the right things and then Boom!…she comes out ‘Unclad’! If Maheeda or Cossy did a video like that, trust me, we won’t blink. We would simply say, Oh, its Maheeda! Oh, it’s Cossy! But you are neither of them, you are Tiwa omo Savage, who sings beautiful songs.

My advice?…Please do not give into the pressure of “Sex Sells” attitude in the music industry. We are shouting that Today’s Nigerian youth are losing their sense of culture and sense of self, majorly because we want to be accepted by the Westernised society! Please do not add to the factors contributing to societal decadence! Let us please practice what we preach through the music which you give to us and the home-videos we watch. I want that, at the end of the day, when my child sits to watch a musical video, it will inspire him/her to become a better person. Not a person, who believes in using violence, sex and sexually explicit materials to communicate.

I believe, you wanted to say something with the ‘Wanted’ video, but what ever that message was, we didn’t get it because you didn’t allow us that opportunity! Please, I didn’t want to say this but a husband who truly loves you, is supposed to protect his ‘wares’ and not make you do whatever to stay relevant in the public eye! 
Don’t feel bad about being criticized for your video, even though there are some ‘touts’ in our midst who seize every given opportunity to exhibit their ‘toutery’! Let me just tell you that, as long as you are in the public eye, you will constantly be judged so don’t let all the ‘noise’ about your video get to you. Celine Dion was one lady musician who never changed who she was and we all loved her music. So, we want you to keep being our ‘Celine Dion’. Lol! 
People make mistakes and you are no exception because you are human (Losers, I hope you understand?!). Afterall, if you think about it, we have a right to complain because you are ‘working’ for us or is the music not for our own enjoyment? So if we say we want Spaghetti and sauce, why do you give us ‘koko garri and groundnuts’! 
Love you girl! You will always remain one of my number one sexy female musician.
