Tiwa Savage: How She Balances Music and Motherhood

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage recently shared her experiences juggling motherhood with her music career. In a candid interview on the Big Friday Show hosted by Tacha, she opened up about the challenges and joys of being a single mom while pursuing her passion for music.

Tiwa emphasized the importance of support in her life. She stated, ‘It takes a village to raise a child,’ highlighting how vital her family and friends are in helping her raise her son, Jamil. Her mother plays a significant role in their lives, providing assistance and guidance. Tiwa mentioned that they also have a nanny who has been with them since Jamil was just three months old, and now, at nine years old, he has built a close bond with her.

During the interview, Tiwa discussed how her son’s godmothers help out when she has to travel for work. She expressed gratitude for their support, which lets her focus on her music while caring for Jamil. Despite this help, she emphasized that motherhood doesn’t stop as children grow. She shared a touching moment, saying, ‘My mom still calls to ask if I’ve eaten and reminds me to drink water and rest.’ She worries about me, even at my age.”

Tiwa’s insights reveal a deeper understanding of motherhood. She noted that women have a remarkable ability to juggle multiple roles. ‘For me, I think as women, we can handle a lot at once; that’s our superpower,’ she said confidently. She believes that it is entirely possible to be both a dedicated mother and a successful career woman.

As she prepares to release her new album, Tiwa remains dedicated to her family and music. She shows that with support and determination, it’s possible to succeed in both. Her journey serves as an inspiration for many, showcasing the strength and resilience of women balancing similar challenges.
