Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has revealed that she has been celibate for three years, explaining that intimacy for her is only meaningful when she is in love.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club, the 44-year-old singer disclosed that her single status since her last relationship ended had shaped her decision.
“I have gone three years without sex. It is not something I really like or am crazy about. I have to be in love to have the urge for sex. I have to be with someone for me to even think about it,” she said.
Savage added a candid twist, joking that she doesn’t even own sex toys:
“Maybe I need to. Maybe people need to get me toys for Christmas presents,” she laughed.
Her revelation follows an earlier admission about enduring a toxic relationship with a Nigerian public figure. She described it as “disrespectful” and said her partner exploited the secrecy of their relationship to cheat on her repeatedly before she finally walked away.
Fans have praised the singer for her openness, noting that her honesty about heartbreak, celibacy and healing resonates strongly with women navigating love and independence.
The “Somebody’s Son” hitmaker continues to dominate Afrobeats globally while using her platform to redefine conversations about female empowerment and personal boundaries in the entertainment industry.
