Tiwa Savage has addressed the viral reaction to her recent statement about being open to becoming a second wife, explaining that her comment was made out of emotional frustration rather than genuine intent.

The singer clarified that her remarks stemmed from the pain of past relationships that left her deeply hurt.

“I was a first wife, and look where that got me. I married as the only wife, yet here I am. I'm exhausted from heartbreak. Perhaps I'm approaching this wrong; maybe I should think about being a second wife,” she had said.

However, Tiwa stressed that her comment was not to be taken literally, noting that she has no real interest in polygamy.

“It’s not a choice I want to make. I don't wish for this. I wish I could express my truth freely, but I fear backlash,” she added.

Her clarification comes after her earlier statement sparked widespread conversation online, with many fans debating whether she was serious about the idea.
