I Always Wanted A Girl, I Didn’t Bond With My Son For One Year Or Two – Tiwa Savage Opens Up (Video)

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has disclosed that she felt mixed emotions after giving birth to her son, admitting she was not very excited at the time and even cried when she learned the baby was male rather than female.

Speaking in a recent interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Savage explained that she had always wanted a girl, which made it difficult to bond with her son initially for two years.

She recalled being dropped by a brand due to how childbirth affected her looks and feeling like her son had destroyed her career.

She said looking back now she is grateful because her son has become her best friend.

“Honestly, I didn’t bond with my son for the first year or two. I always wanted a girl. They told me it was a boy, and I started crying.

“So, when he came he was always crying and my body didn’t snap back. I looked horrible. I was supposed to do a campaign with Pepsi at the time and they turned me away. And I just thought this boy has destroyed me. But now, he is my best friend,” Savage said.

The singer said she always advised her son to treat women right because of how she suffered in wrong relationships.

“I always tell him, you mum suffered oo, make sure you treat any girl like a queen. It is very important for me to raise him as a good man. He is going to make mistakes, he is not perfect. But at the core of him, I want him to be kind,”
she added.

Tiwa Savage welcomed her son, Jamil Balogun, in July 2015 with then-husband Tunji Balogun, and he turned 10 in July 2025.

I Lost Endorsement Deal For Refusing To ‘Travel To Dubai’ With Company Owner – Tiwa Savage Reveals (Video)

Tiwa Savage, the popular Nigerian singer, has stated that one of the biggest challenges women face in the Nigerian music industry is the pressure to exchange s*x for career opportunities.

Speaking in a panel organised by Entertainment Week Africa, Savage said she has had experiences where she was told to go visit influential male executives before she could get booked for certain shows.

She also revealed that she once lost an endorsement deal for refusing to go on holiday to Dubai with the company’s co-owner.

Savage said the experience made her realise that some executives value her body more than her talent.

She said, “I had been told that if I don’t go and see ‘this chairman’ personally, I would not be put on a show. I lost an endorsement because I refused to go to Dubai with a man who is one of the owners of the company.

“That was when I realised that they don’t value my talent but my body, which I was only flaunting as part of branding. It ended up hurting me because that is all they were seeing.”
