No, Wizkid can never marry Tiwa Savage. Here's why


We all love to see Wizkid and Tiwa Savage together. As a matter of fact, both artists have released quite many songs together. Their alleged romance broke the internet in 2018 when Wizkid seemed to kiss Tiwa Savage on stage at one of their performances. In October of that year, Wizkid featured Tiwa Savage in his music video for "fever." Born in Lagos, Nigeria, born on February 5 1980, Tiwa Savage relocated to London at 11 for her secondary education. She began her music career as a backup vocalist for artists such as George Michael and Mary J Blige five years later. Wizkid, on the other hand, began recording music at the age of 11 and managed to release a collaborative album with the Glorious Five, a group he and a couple of his church friends formed. Wizkid signed a record deal with Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E.) in 2009. He rose to prominence after releasing "Holla at your boy." His first collaboration with Tiwa Savage was on her song titled "bad" in 2016. Since then, the couple has released more songs like "Ma lo" and "Dis love." So why haven't they gotten married since then? Well, we are here to answer those questions.




Age gap

Although it does not sound like a big deal, the first reason why Wizkid and Tiwa Savage can possibly never get married is their age gap. While Tiwa savage was born in 1980, Wizkid was born in 1990, which means Tiwa is 10 years older than Wizkid. Of course, you could say age is just a number, but for most Nigerian tribes, your age defines your maturity. So even if Wizkid and Tiwa Savage decided to get married someday, they might have some trouble convincing their families.

Tiwa Savage was once married to Wizkid's friend.


Tiwa savage has an ex-husband, Tee-Billz, whom Wizkid is a close friend of. The embattled couple has not been together since their marital crisis in 2016; Teebillz made their marital issues public and tried to commit suicide at the third mainland bridge in Lagos. The duo then engaged in a "war of words" on social media, as Tee-billz alleged infidelity, among other accusations, on the part of his estranged wife. In 2018, Tee-Billz rebuked rumours of the singer's sexual relationship with fellow music artiste, Wizkid. He referred to Wizkid as his "little brother who cannot cross the line" by having an affair with his ex-wife.

Friends with benefit


Tiwa Savage and Wizkid's friendship comes with benefits in the music industry. Of course, their relationship developed through shared history, experiences, and mutual interest, but it turns out that their friendship is just for the sake of music. Both artists are very much aware that an alleged relationship between them would promote their songs heavily, which is why they sometimes go the extra mile.

Wizkid has been hit with many controversies. He has been labelled as a deadbeat dad and irresponsible father by his baby mamas countless times. These women have all reported misunderstanding with the 'Joro' crooner for supposedly abdicating his responsibilities as a father. On May 13, 2018, Wizkid's first baby mama Shola Ogudu, via her Twitter page, wished her son a happy birthday. Now she didn't just wish him a happy birthday; Ogudu made it known that she had been the father and mother of the child she had with Wizkid. As if that wasn't enough, she further released never seen before chat messages she had with the music star. Similarly, the singer's second baby mama complained that she caters to her son's needs alone, while the star only professed concern on social media. Considering that Tiwa Savage has been through marriage and divorce, it is safe to say that she wouldn't want to get married to Wizkid.

Wizkid is more devoted to his music more than he is to relationships. In several interviews, he revealed that he likes to make music and enjoy life. While speaking to journalists at Cool FM, the Starboy explained that his mum pressured him to get married. He concluded by saying he is not yet ready to settle down because building his career is more important.

Wizkid has three kids.


Wizkid is a father of 3. The musician has three handsome boys from three different ladies. He welcomed his first child with Sola Ogudu in 2011, his second son from a Guinean-American model Binta Diamond Diallo in 2016, and his third son from his manager, Jada Pollock -- who he now has an entanglement with -- since 2017. Tiwa Savage also has a child and is more experienced than Wizkid in terms of marriage. The last thing she might want to get involved in is Wizkid and his controversial relationships with women.

P.R. Stunt


Tiwa Savage and Wizkid's P.R. stunts are old tricks used by celebrities to keep their fans talking. While some stars keep their relationship a secret, others fuel romance and non-existent union rumours and sometimes rub it on their fans' faces. In relationships where only friendships exist, these celebrities often laugh while deceiving the public or going along with whatever their followers tag them to be. Tiwa Savage once said that she and Wizkid are good friends with few benefits. All the time, it takes her extra effort to convince people that specific reports about her relationship life are untrue.

Furthermore, Tiwa Savage is sometimes underrated despite releasing many hit songs, so some people believe that she hangs around Wizkid to elevate her musical career. As false as this may sound, there is some truth element to it, and here's why: Wizkid has the strongest fan base compared to every other Nigerian artiste, so it is a wise choice for Tiwa Savage to fuel dating rumours with him. At the end of the day, it is a win-win situation for both artists.
