A credible source who is privy to the inner workings of the Tiwa Savage music empire has revealed to YeyeNews.com reporter that the controversy over the sex video of the musician was all staged to promote her about-to-be released music album. “The idea of fabricating the story was to get the public’s attention on Tiwa ahead of her album release. This practice is not new. Musicians do it a lot”, the source disclosed.
Tiwa Savage, during an interview on Power 105.1 in New York revealed that somebody was blackmailing her with a sex video of her and the man she is currently dating. “You see even the interviewer was surprised Tiwa Savage was so calm about the whole saga. So carefree under such circumstances? No. We are not fools. This whole thing is a well choreographed act”, a top Nigerian OAP told YeyeNews.com.
“Despite the doubt about the authenticity of the gist, people still can’t stop discussing. Tiwa Savage’s Instagram account has experienced a massive influx of new followers since the news broke. She is trending on all social media platforms. If this is done for the attention, then it is really achieving its aim. We should hope the album will be worth all the hype at the end of the day”, a popular musician disclosed to YeyeNews.com.
However, a source close to Seyi Shay who analyzed the video picked holes in the claims made by Tiwa. The source told YeyeNews.com that Tiwa’s story was scripted, that she was incoherent and had no emotion telling the story as someone who was gong through such an ordeal would , and that she was rushing to tell it. “You don’t need to be a psychologist to know she was telling nonsense. The extent people go to to promote themselves is unbelievable. The strategy is working already for her as the conversation on social media platforms has been centered on the artist in the past few days. It is shameful”, the source said.
In other reactions, many Nigerians have take to the social media and discussion forum to express their feelings. Based on posts seen by YeyeNews.com, many were disappointment and called her out. One post posed some questions to Tiwa Savage: “Who recorded the sex session? How did the blackmailer got their hands on the video?
