On the Joe Budden Podcast, the singer revealed she once had a secret relationship with a celebrity who insisted on privacy, only to turn around and publicly cozy up to others in ways she found deeply disrespectful.

According to Tiwa, the unnamed star made it clear that their relationship had to stay behind closed doors. Yet at events, he would mingle, hug, and even kiss others. She admitted that it was painful and emotionally draining. Still, she emphasized that she has moved past it and is now focused on her growth and artistry.

Of course, Tiwa did not mention names, but the internet never misses a beat. Fans immediately began speculating about who the mystery man could have been. Over the years, the “Somebody’s Son” hitmaker has been linked, sometimes through confirmed relationships and other times through industry whispers, to several high-profile men.

Her most public romance was with her former manager, Tunji “Tee Billz” Balogun, whom she married in 2013. The union ended in a messy split with infidelity allegations on both sides, but it remains one of the most talked-about celebrity marriages in Nigeria. Beyond Tee Billz, Tiwa has also been linked by gossip blogs to Wizkid during their steamy “Fever” video era, where their undeniable chemistry fueled rumors of a fling. While both artists denied anything beyond friendship, fans never stopped reading between the lines.

There have also been speculations involving foreign entertainers and industry moguls, though Tiwa has always kept tight-lipped, only fueling the mystery. With her latest revelation, some fans are digging up old interviews, performances, and even paparazzi shots, trying to connect the dots and figure out who the secret star might have been.

On social media, reactions were split. Some applauded Tiwa for speaking up about emotional disrespect in relationships, saying it showed her vulnerability and maturity.  She stressed that she has moved on and poured those lessons into her music. Considering her recent collaborations and global recognition, it is clear that the singer is more focused on her craft than on revisiting old scars. Still, her revelation has reignited conversations about respect, secrecy, and double standards in celebrity relationships.

One thing is certain: Tiwa Savage knows how to command attention, whether through her music, her style, or simply by dropping a story that keeps the entire culture talking.
