Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has revealed that her greatest concern following the leak of her intimate video was the possibility of her son seeing it in the future.
Speaking about the controversy that rocked her career years ago, the award-winning singer said the incident left a lasting impact on her reputation and personal life. According to her, protecting her son became her top priority after the video surfaced online.
Tiwa claimed that she sought the services of an information technology expert who helped remove the video from online platforms and digital circulation.
“My biggest fear about my sex tape leaking was that my son might one day see it,” she reportedly said. “But I got in touch with an IT expert who hacked the video from the internet and everyone’s mobile device. Right now you can’t find it anywhere. Even if you had it stored in your phone, it’s gone.”
The singer said the experience taught her valuable lessons about privacy, public scrutiny, and the long-term consequences of personal mistakes in the digital age.
The leaked video, which sparked widespread reactions when it emerged, generated intense debate on social media and within the entertainment industry. While Tiwa faced criticism from some quarters, many fans and colleagues expressed support, arguing that her private life should not define her career.
Reflecting on the episode, the Afrobeats star noted that the incident affected her image and reputation, prompting her to take decisive steps to limit its spread and shield her family from its impact.
Her comments have once again reignited discussions about online privacy, cyber security, and the challenges public figures face in protecting their personal lives in an era where digital content can spread rapidly across the internet.
