Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has shared her views on infidelity in romantic relationships, stating that cheating has never been a reason for her to end a partnership.
In a revealing interview on The Receipts Podcast, the 44-year-old artist mentioned that every man she has dated has been unfaithful, yet she has consistently chosen to forgive them.
I have been cheated on before. I found out and forgave every time,” Savage said. “Every man I have ever been with has cheated, and I’ve never left them because of it. I’ve left for other reasons, but not because they cheated. Cheating is not my hill.”
Savage pointed out that disrespect is what truly drives her to end a relationship. She elaborated that the pain stems from the dishonesty surrounding infidelity, particularly when others are aware of the betrayal. “What hurts is the lies about it though.
“What hurts is the lies about it though. Maybe other people had known and then I kind of felt stupid about it, or they’ve known for a long time or if it’s close to home. The disrespect of it is why I could leave, but the actual act of it? I’ve never left a man cause of it,” she said.
The acclaimed singer noted that her reasons for ending relationships have been diverse, including issues like drug abuse, emotional neglect, ghosting, financial problems, and emotional abuse.
“I’ve left for so many other reasons like drug abuse or emotional abuse or being emotionally abused, being ghosted, stealing, and financial things. But that cheating thing, nah,” Tiwa Savage added.
