The First Lady of Mavin Records also admitted that she once abstained from s*x for three years. It might be hard to believe but Tiwa Savage says it’s true.
The ‘Wanted’ singer revealed this during a recent interview. She also said that she is spiritual and has a close relationship with God.
“I may not always get to kneel down and pray but at some point in the car or wherever I am, I would have a conversation with God; I am very spiritual. I do not joke with paying tithe or speaking with God. I owe everything to him and I guess a lot of people don’t see that side” said Tiwa Savage.
Tiwa Savage who is married to her manager Tee Billz and now has a son revealed how she got closer to God and decided to abstain from s*x after a heart break.
“I had gone through a tough time trying to find myself. I went through heartbreak and I remember crying so much through that time. I felt lost and didn’t know where I needed to be in this world. I know this sounds cliché, but I was praying one day and I literally felt the presence of God in the room with me” Tiwa Savage revealed.
“And, you know when you first give your life to Christ, you are a radical. So, then, I would preach to strangers on the train and say Jesus sent me to you.
“And for three years, I was not intimate with a man. I didn’t kiss or have s*x. Every time I hugged a man it would be from the side. A lot of people can relate to that because it has happened to a lot of us but the key is to be consistent” she said.
Some might find it hard to imagine but Tiwa Savage said she was once a tomboy who wasn’t into high heels, boys and waxing her eye brows. Her mother at one point thought she was gay.
“I was never into boys, which is probably why my husband has full confidence that the big men flashing money in my face won’t faze me” said the pop star.
