In a candid and insightful conversation on “The Receipts Podcast” with UK-based podcaster Tolani Soneye, Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Tiwa Savage shared her thoughts on success, aging, relationships, and motherhood.
When asked about age-shaming and criticism, Tiwa Savage responded, “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.”
Tiwa Savage emphasized that her son will be proud of her, contrary to the opinions of critics. “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.”
On relationships, Tiwa Savage revealed that she has never left a partner solely because of infidelity. “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 think I have ever had orgasm. I don’t even have sex toys, but I believe in Monogamy.”
Interestingly, Tolani Soneye, the host of “The Receipts Podcast”, has a notable connection to Nigeria’s oil industry. She is the younger sister of Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.). This connection highlights the intersection of media, entertainment, and industry in Nigeria.
Throughout the conversation, Tolani Soneye provided a supportive and non-judgmental space for Tiwa Savage to share her thoughts and experiences. The Receipts Podcast has built a reputation for its honest and insightful discussions, and this episode with Tiwa Savage is no exception.
