Speaking on The Breakfast Club in an interview released on Tuesday, Tiwa said that while she initially tried to cope with the scandal publicly, the trauma ran much deeper.

Betrayal Behind the Tape
The singer disclosed that her boyfriend at the time first claimed the tape had been leaked by accident.
“He said he was trying to save it, and then he pressed send by accident… I later on found out that it was a bet with his friends,” Tiwa revealed.

The tape, which surfaced online in 2021, sparked widespread controversy and backlash, but Tiwa stood her ground at the time, refusing to be shamed. Her latest revelation sheds new light on the betrayal that fueled one of the most talked-about scandals in Afrobeats history.
