Raiders: my brother, how much is Annie worth if you minus all the money she gets from Tuface. She is not even a great actress. She is only known as Tuface wife and you won't have know who she is without Tuface. Tiwa is self made but dumb enough to get married to a loser
There are ladies happily married to men with less than 100th of Tuface annual income tho I get your point. TBliz wasn't always a loser
theshaderoom: 21 things Tiwa Savage said about TeeBillz accusations
But in an exclusive interview with Azuka Ogujiuba, ThisDay Editor, which was obtained exclusively by Pulse TV, Tiwa Savage addressed the allegations, and made emotional revelations about her husband.
Tiwa Savage has addressed the shocking accusations levelled against her by (ex) husband Tunji ‘Teebillz’ Balogun.
Yesterday, Teebillz had taken to social media to level allegations of infidelity, neglect and passive torture from Tiwa Savage in their marriage. He was later reported to have attempted suicide by jumping off the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge in Lagos.
The allegations brought on a lot of heat and discussions on social media, with many polarizing opinions being offered.
But in an exclusive interview with Azuka Ogujiuba, ThisDay Editor, which was obtained exclusively by Pulse TV, Tiwa Savage addressed the allegations, and made emotional revelations about her husband.
Read the edited quotes of her interview below.
[b]When I woke up, I thought they found him dead. My first thought was that we need to find him, he is suicidal, and we need to make sure he is alive. I didn’t even know what he had said. Someone took my phone from me, they don’t want me to see what was said online. I was just sacred for his life.
At around 10 and 11, Banky W’s Mum and his family were praying, and we got the call that he was found in Lekki, and that he has been taken to Banky’s House.
For the past two months, TJ and I have not been together, it was something we were working through, but I knew this marriage would not work.
I haven’t spoke to TJ in about a week, and we were supposed to get some passports for my son. He was reading the messages and he wasn’t responding. I begged him to be friends, and let’s be good parents to Jamil. He didn’t respond.
I covered up for a lot of hurt in our relationship. Just before I went to Jamaica, I found out that I was pregnant. We were just trying to find out how we were going to manage another baby so soon. I got to London, on a 10-hour flight to shoot a video with Busy Signal (Reggae Artiste). While doing my makeup, I found out I was bleeding and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital, and we were trying to call TJ to tell him what happened. While we were sleeping at two AM a number called him saved as Edible Catering….I checked his phone, and the number was asking him if she can come to his hotel. She responded that He (TJ) knocked her out last night, that he was a great night. I confronted him, and he said he took another woman to the hotel and said they were just chilling. This happened the period I was in Jamaica, and I was in the hospital. I sent TJ pictures, and he was busy with another woman. I was in ahospital and you couldn’t be bothered find out what happened to me. I packed my stuff, took my son and went to my friends house, her name is Tiwa also. I stayed the night, and she asked me for the next step, I told her I was done.
I covered up for so long because I wanted people to believe that TJ is the one that takes care of me, TJ is the head of the house…I wanted him to be the head of the house. I covered up so much.
TJ has not spent one Naira, I paid for hospital bills, his flight, his accommodation, we also went shopping for TJ so that he will have new things. His excuse was that Í don’t have money’. I had to pay for everything so that he can go out and hustle, and get the contracts. He didn’t have money for diapers, but he had money to have a bi-weekly haircut, had money to pay for his laundry, had money to take a woman to the hotel.
His cooking allegations is a lie. I am not going to say because of my career that I am not going to cook. I work long hours to put money in the house, I work to make sure that we have a roof over our house. I come back home really late, and when I make something for myself, I make some for TJ. I had to hire a cook to cook for me, him and the other people that live in the house, I don’t think that is wrong…Even if it is true, the things he puts me through will not even encourage me to ask him if he is hungry. He goes out and you come home at 7 in the morning, sometime 2pm. He comes back drunk, he comes back angry, and we don’t know what sort of mood he is in. Sometimes TJ will go out and he will not call, and he will not tell him. I am just sacred for his safety, I will be calling him frantically, to find out that he didn’t go and drink. I am even praying that he is with another woman, so that at least I know that he is alive. That’s not the person that I will ask if he has eaten.
When I sacked him as my manager – I will never discredit or take away that TJ worked hard, hustled and believed in me. But what I will say is that at one point….he is booking events and he will book shows. The first time I found out that there was foul play was when he booked me for a wedding in London. I have to be paid before I perform. I called one of the organisers, and said I have not been paid. He said that the show has been paid four months ago, he showed me the account were they paid him. TJ declared that the show was for 3M but they really paid 4.5M, out of the 3M he was still receiving the management fee 40%. He took money already, and collected his percentage, and he didn’t feel anything. He was stealing from his wife. I had to perform at the wedding for free. I do get to perform for free when he takes my money.
My mum is based in the UK, and when I had Jamil she moved back to Nigeria with us. My mother is not like that (witchcraft), she is a sweet lady, and she’s very British, she doesn’t judge, she is not hung up like that. A lot of times, my mom would say ‘Tiwa you are the wife, be patient, don’t curse don’t shout, build the home.’ She has been nothing but a great support for me. I would love for him to tell me if there is something my mother has done.
I have never cheated on my husband. Not with Don Jazzy, Dr Sid, 2face Idibia or anybody. I have never cheated on my husband, and Tunji knows this. He knows that in his heart. (She breaks down in tears) Sometimes in the studio, one of the things that Don Jazzy and some of my other label mates say is that I am really good with interviews, with being diplomatic and knowing how to carry myself with difficult situations. This hurts. I have seen comments of what people are saying about me. It is not true.
I know that for every human being when your father’s ways are not straight, it will bother you. Since I sacked him from my management, he has been struggling financially. He was stealing from me, so I had to save my marriage and separate business from family. TJ wants to keep up with the Joneses, he wants to live a life that is not true. He went to buy a car, a Mercedes that he knew that he didn’t have the money for it. The person kept up calling that he wants the balance. I ended up paying the balance of over 3M. When it was time to pay, I put the money in his account, so they don’t know I was the person paying for it. He also bought a Rolex, and didn’t pay the balance. They threaten to go to the press, and to protect my name, I will have to pay for it. He goes to clubs and leaves the tabs for me, and I have to pay for him. He is putting us in debt.
What set off all off this was that he went to borrow 45 million Naira from someone and he lost it. I just found out that EFCC was investigating a case against him, and my brother called me from London and confirmed it that TJ is in deep trouble, and that some people might hurt him, that I should be careful. In my frantic mode to try and suppress this situation I went to one of my big bros who can help. A week ago I told TJ that we were running out of Jamil’s food, but he didn’t do nothing. He complains, but cuts his hair twice a week. I have been searching for N45M so that they don’t kill him, so that they EFCC does not carry him. What kind of man does that, and says I am the one taking away his manhood.
I walked in on TJ taking cocaine in my house in 1004 (Victoria Island, Lagos). I didn’t even know he takes cocaine. I walked into the kitchen, and I saw him taking cocaine, so I screamed, and asked if that is cocaine. HE started screaming that ‘What am I doing down here, where is the cocaine?’ How can someone without money take cocaine? I called his parents and complained that I can deal with weed, but cocaine, no. So I am dealing with his alcohol problem, you come home late, infidelity, coaciane, bad debt, jealousy over my success.
Before marriage, Idin’t know of his third child in Nigeria. A lot of people warned me about him, but I am going to say I made a mistake. At the beginning everyone says you can’t leave the marriage because our culture frowns on it. I made a mistake, do I have to wait ten years, 15 years? If I am not happy. And I was scared that if I ever find somebody else to marry me? That’s the msiconceptions of our society. I don’t care if I ever get married again. I care about being happy for Jamil, I care about not walking on eggshells. I do want a man that works, that will help me with my financial burden. He doesn’t have to be a millionaire or billionaire, but at least someone that helps, and won’t put me in more debt.
Everyday all I hear from TJ is that ‘I created you, I took you from nothing, look at you now.
The marriage is finally over, it’s been over for a while, and I have covered up for a while. What happened was God-sent, and he made it easier for me to walk away with what he did on social media. He got so many people angrier, he pulled so many innocent people into this. Even his family. He made it easy for me to finally up and walk away.
I will never stop hum from seeing Jamil, never. Even today, Jamil is still saying ‘dadada’, and I was saying it with him as well, that’s his first word. I want to bring him up to be a good man.
Even till now I don’t wish anything bad on him. As we are doing this interview, I am worried that if he sees it, it might trigger him to do something bad. I don’t want my son to grow up and know, God forbid, that his father commited suicide. Tonight, I am still gonna pray for him.
He was getting help at one point when the whole cocaine thing came out. This has been happening for a long time. We get him helpo and he goes to see a doctor or a pastor, or a counsellor and he uses his own hands to ruin things again. If I didn’t care about him, I wouldn’t be covering up for a lot of things. I wouldn’t be searching for help for him. Even now I am still searching for a way to help him out of his debt, so that if he is out of this,
If there is anything that maybe I overlooked, or didn’t love him enough, or made him less of a man, then I am sorry. I am absolutely sorry…Tunji I am sorry. But you know I tried everything, you know I love you so much, and I am sorry, I never wanted to divorce, and I never wanted it to get to this. I want you to get better…and I would always pray for you.[/b]
She obviously doesn't give a damn anymore at the moment. She's very hurt. TBliz hurt her so much with all those things he typed. He allegedly knew she was cheating with all those people and he did nothing about it as the man of the house? What a "okobo"! He is now coming to cry on social media. Can you claim he does not cheat on his marriage? Or is his problem the caliber of people she cheats with while he has to do with runs girls?
Read my posts well...I don't care about taking sides and dis is P.R poo full stop(.) Besides, right is right..No arithmetic. Gunite
Dey there make una dey deceive unaselves! Even if you slept with Don jazzy, 2 face et al, you will tell us? Even if you are caught red handed you will confess? Even Saraki that was caught with evidence is running around saying its a lie , that it's a witchhunt! As they say, there are 3 sides to a story! Your side My side And the truth!
I feel deeply sorry for Tiwa but nobody knows what went on there. I hope they can peacefully come together to raise their child.
Now her husband has 4 kids, he should step up and be responsible for those kids. Someone with 4 Kids is busy making useless purchases while those money could be saved up for them kids. What are his short and long term plan for his kids? I just tire ...
When God has blessed u with a child, that responsibility becomes more important than your needs.
Divorce or no Divorce, their child shouldn't suffer for their mistakes.
This is unbelievable! I can't believe people are already taking sides. More crazy is after watching Tiwa's video and still blame her, as though our minds are already made up irrespective of what she says.
goldbim: A bad marriage is worse than hell..I really feel for this lady..most junkies'll always seek for pity when they are short of supplies. he needs a therapist else the suicide stunt might become real..if this continues,he can drain tiwa financially and she'l become depressed too and the cycle goes on.
I tell you. Tiwa's money has even gone down. She is still in shock of how she would get 45millions. Look at the way she call it like she has never seen or own it. I read in one article she is worth over 600millions. i know the truth now. She is just managing and working hard. Life is not easy for all of us.
Hello Tiwa, Did you just say what happened was God sent? How did God send it and why would God send an event to enable you walk away from your marriage? Challenges makes us stronger when we overcome them not when we run from them. Nothing you have said here that has not been faced and surmounted by someone else. I would advise you seek a mentor, an elderly successful married woman like Mrs Isibor of Poise , Joke Silva and choose friends wisely. Finally two wrongs don't make right, you did not have to spill thrash on your husband even if he did same to you. And then you actually did a recorded visual interview. In all you said, no part did i hear you going on your knees to pray for your husband. God answers prayers my dear and it is never too late to turn to him. The hearts of Kings are in his hands and he is able to change your husband and heal your marriage. But you must ask and believe. Again, God did not send anything to destroy your home. When he sends challenges, he makes a way to overcome it too.

Honestly I think prospective couples should be applying to get married to the ministry of interior for prior approval for marriage. Look at what the sacred institution called marriage has been reduced to in this country. Most of this so called contacted marriages could best be regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend affairs.
SweetGuy225: I watched the interview and I believe Tiwa although it was too much info. She should have handled the matter more diplomatically and professionally for the sake of her career.
Well, its now up to the NDLEA to join hands with the EFCC to make life harder for Mr TeeBillz.
Meanwhile, the woman who interviewed Tiwa is so bleeped up. I mean, just look at how uninterested, unispiring and lazy she looks while making absolutely useless gestures.
But she asked the right questions. And Tiwa was so comfortable with her. She is a newspaper person. She isn't a TV girl.
That said, have you ever been in marriage trouble? You will talk for 24 hrs non stop. You will keep remembering every incident of hurt. for a woman, she is too good with her mouth. Try other women. They will curse your generation if you accuse them of cheating!
She is just human. I saw her weak side Today. She is even scared she may not see husband again just like all singer divorced mothers
So this is all? I thought there were earth shaking issues. This two should continue with their marriage. All these stories can only shock young people . There have been more serious earth shaking marriage issues I have heard. The only problem if any might be cocaine. You people should get together and continue your marriage immediately. Rubbish
Tiwa sound more real than her ex husband, I believed what tiwa said ,even before now I see Tj as somebody that's rude,hot temper and harsh Tj was right on cooking aspect and she said it too, maybe don jazz slept with her before she got married or after Tiwa took alot of shits from Tj but she did few wrong things too
i agree with you. After some analysis at work with colleagues , I realize and we drew to a conclusion that they are all so fake and with the advent of social media its been worse... may God help us.
costandi: You see signs, yet u believe you can cope with it during marriage. You are at fault and its good u admitted it.
Truth is, celebrity life is fake. They marry fake wives and husbands and end up with fake marriages.
Drinking, smoking, f**king, drug abuse. These are normal in the daily lives of celebrities. They carry it into their marriages and begin to complain.
You just have to be a true Christian to maintain a stable marriage.
Problems that goes with fame .. It's a sad one for u guys .. We I lost my courtship firstly I thought is the end of the world jst to think of it that's not married .. God take control in my affair . Baba God na beg I dey beg oo ..answer of prayer .
Teebillz is just a typical Nigerian man. They can't stand it when their wife or any woman around them is more successful than they are. So disgustingly insecure. Tiwa has made a good decision. Divorce the gold digging junkie!
Sounds like a typical Naija gold digger who wants to reap without adding any value. Just like ur Shylock family members who would always blackmail and guilty u into submission for a favor done to you 20-30 yrs ago.. Even though u might have paid back a hundred fold, they would always pull out I helped to make-u card. Typical celebrity flashlight culture-living in the moment and living waay above their means. It seems Tiwa was being a man in the house cos TJ didn't want to grow up!! Typical Naija patriachal society-ur wife is making all money and u still want her to cook?? She's hired the best of Chef to cook for ur household. Most rich guys in Naija hire private chef to cook for them.
stroker: Many inconsistencies frm Tiwa. Sm stuffs might be true but its clear her maital skills are not too good. Also that cheating part, she now cried, good acting. The same person that grinds her ass on co performer on the stage. Tj no be saint, but i can deduce Tiwa frustrate am small. She said in the beginning of the interview that she thought he was dead, also you were not with your phone to see all that was going on online. this presupposes an earlier event between the two that must have happened recently. Now she cm apologize. U employed a cook for the house, then he's too drunk or too moody to ask him to eat. Tj expected more from the lady financially which is very wrong. He's helped her career but it does not gv him the right to also depend solely on her and squander resources. In all, both of them Bleep up, but mk Tiwa no play the victim at all. Lying to do damage control on a battered reputation. She had to make a video of the interview so that she can show theatrics as regards het composure, dressing, and the crocodile tears. My take is that this is not the time to call to be interviwed to play vict8m. Selfish and callous
Akkord4gov: If Nigerians can pay attention to their own development and success the way they do to celebrities,Nigeria would have started to experience change years back
Exactly!
This happens everywhere, everyday... And, no one gets to read all of these.
