Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has opened up about her divorce from her ex-husband, TeeBillz, in a recent interview on The Receipts Podcast.
TeeBillz had announced their separation on social media back in 2018. Tiwa Savage revealed that TeeBillz was the one who ultimately ended their marriage, as she was still dealing with postpartum issues following the birth of their child.
Tiwa Savage said: “The way our situation happened, he announced it online. I did not break up with him, but I was the one being attacked.
“My baby was just a few months old at that time. My body wasn’t the same because I was dealing with postpartum and depression. Only a few people came to see me. Everyone went to him.
“It got worse after I did an interview to tell my side of the story. People were like, ‘How dare you go and talk? You are a woman, and you are supposed to build the house. It’s your fault.’
“It was very heartbreaking how the public blamed me. Ever since then, I was like, ‘I won’t ever talk about the situation.’ It was an eye-opener for me. It made me depressed and angry for so long. Then I became the ‘African Bad Girl.’ I started getting tattoos and wearing bikinis and short skirts.”
