45-Yr Old Tiwa Savage Reveals Reason for Staying Celibate for over 1,000 Days

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has made a candid revelation about her private life. The singer disclosed that she has been celibate for an extended period. She stated that she has gone three years without ‘seeing’ a man.

This period means she has not been intimate for over 1,000 days.

The music star recently discussed this period of celibacy. Her comments came during an interview with the popular US radio show, The Breakfast Club.

Why the Long Break?

Savage explained that her celibacy is directly linked to her relationship status. She confirmed she has been single since her last relationship concluded three years ago.

For Tiwa Savage, intimacy must be tied to a deep emotional bond. She requires love to even consider a physical relationship.

“I have to be in love to have the urge for intimacy,” she expressed.

She made it clear that intimacy is not something she actively seeks out.

“It is not something I really like or am crazy about,” she added.

Savage maintains that she has to be with someone before she even thinks about having intimacy. This stance highlights her focus on emotional authenticity over mere physicality.

No Need for Aids

During the frank discussion, Savage was asked about her current lifestyle. She confirmed that she does not rely on intimacy aids.

“I don’t even have intimacy toys,” the singer admitted.

The singer, who is 45, expressed satisfaction with her current singledom. She emphasized that her happiness is self-defined.

She stressed that her contentment does not depend on romantic relationships. She has rejected societal pressure concerning age and relationship status.

Background of Past Trauma

The singer’s comments gain context when considering her recent history. DAILY POST recalls that Savage previously spoke about a traumatic experience.

This trauma stemmed from a toxic relationship with a Nigerian public figure.

She described that past partnership as “disrespectful”. Her partner reportedly took advantage of the secrecy surrounding their relationship. This was done so he could cheat on her repeatedly.
