The Nigerian Afrobeat queen has sparked reactions online after a recent video of hers went viral. Tiwa, who recently released her new album This One Is Personal, sat down for an interview with Ebro and shared deep insights into her life.

The mother of one recounted going through emotional trauma stemming from her adult tape, divorce, multiple heartbreaks, and breakups, which gradually built up over time.

Savage revealed that she felt emotionally low for a while and needed to channel the pain physically, which led her to self-harming, a practice she says still leaves scars to this day. The conversation turned deeply emotional, igniting hot takes from fans across social media.
