I Didn’t Leak My S3x Tape to Get Sympathy – Tiwa Savage Speaks On Trauma

Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has stated that she wasn’t the one responsible for leaking her s3x tape.
She was accused of leaking the tape to be relevant.
Recall that the singer’s s3x tape went viral on social media in 2021, after she refused to the blackmailer.
Following the leaked video, Tiwa Savage was criticised and blamed for refusing to be extorted.
Speaking during her recent interview with American radio station Hot 97, she discussed the trauma she endured.
“I was bashed for my s3x video. Lot of people think I was just trying to get sympathy. Even people with platforms were quite horrible and blamed me.
 
“I don’t know how they couldn’t see me as the victim in this. They said I did it to be relevant. If I were doing that, I would’ve been intentional about it. I would have used better lighting, lingerie, and my facial expressions would have been on point.”

BREAKING: Ousmane Dembélé beats Yamal to 2025 Ballon d’Or

Ousmane Dembélé has officially been crowned the winner of the 2025 Ballon d’Or, capping off an extraordinary year in which he inspired Paris Saint-Germain to a historic treble.

The Frenchman beat competition from Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal and fellow PSG teammate Vitinha to claim football’s most prestigious individual honour at the glittering ceremony in Paris, France.

PSG’s treble hero rewarded

Dembélé’s Ballon d’Or triumph comes after a season where he played a decisive role in PSG’s Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Champions League victories.

His pace, creativity and consistency finally earned him global recognition, securing his place among the game’s elite.

Lamine Yamal makes history

While Dembélé claimed the main prize, 18-year-old Lamine Yamal cemented his own piece of history by winning the 2025 Kopa Trophy as the best young player in the world.

The Barcelona sensation becomes the first ever player to win the award back-to-back, making him one of football’s brightest talents.

Other Major winners on the night

Portuguese striker Viktor Gyökeres was handed the Gerd Müller Trophy after finishing as Europe’s top scorer, while PSG manager Luis Enrique was named Best Men’s Manager, recognised for masterminding the club’s treble success.

Meanwhile, former PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma picked up the Best Goalkeeper Award. The title follows his incredible performance while with the Ligue 1 side.

PSG was also named best team in Europe in 2025, after their strong showing across all competitions.

A Frenchman on top again

Dembélé becomes the first French player since Karim Benzema in 2022 to lift the Golden Ball, marking a remarkable chapter in his career.

From battling injuries earlier in his journey to conquering the world stage, the 28-year-old has now etched his name into football’s history books.

How much money does the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner actually earn?

The 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony is just around the corner, with the football world waiting to see who will be crowned the best of the season.

On the men’s side, frontrunners include PSG star Ousmane Dembélé and Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

 

But while many assume the award carries a huge cash prize, the truth is that the Ballon d’Or itself does not come with direct financial compensation.

 

No cash prize, just the trophy

The winner receives only the Ballon d’Or trophy, organized by France Football and UEFA, which is valued at about $3,500. It is not made of solid gold despite its appearance.

Bonuses and endorsements fill the gap

What the Ballon d’Or lacks in prize money, it makes up for in career impact.

Players who win often trigger lucrative bonuses in their club contracts, while endorsement deals with global brands can run into the tens of millions.

 

The award also boosts a player’s transfer value and global visibility overnight.

 

Beyond men’s football

This year’s gala, as is usually the case, will also celebrate women’s football, with Real Madrid and Colombian star Linda Caicedo among the nominees in the young player category.

Additional honours will go to the best coach and best club of the season, ensuring recognition across the sport.
