Davido vows to protect Tiwa Savage amid past dispute

Popular Nigerian musician Davido has assured the public that he will protect Tiwa Savage from any harm, a year after the singer filed a petition accusing him of threatening her life.

The feud between the two artists began in January 2024 when Tiwa shared a photo with Sophia Momodu, Davido’s first baby mama, on social media. This led to allegations of threats from Davido, while Tiwa’s ex-husband, Teebillz, vowed to teach the singer a lesson.

In a recent interview with Breakfast Club, Davido addressed the controversy, describing Tiwa as his “sister for life” and showing off their close bond. He explained that their issue was personal, stemming from Tiwa’s friendship with Sophia, but stressed that their relationship remains familial. “I would never allow anything to happen to her,” he stated, reaffirming his commitment to her safety and well-being.
