Artist’s Ex-Husband Calls Out Manager Vanessa Amadi-Ogbonna, Claims Their Son Feels Neglected
Tiwa Savage’s ex-husband, Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has taken to social media to express concerns about their son’s emotional wellbeing, alleging that the singer’s demanding work schedule has left their child, Jamil, feeling isolated.
In a now-viral Instagram post, Teebillz directed his frustrations at Vanessa Amadi-Ogbonna, Tiwa Savage’s longtime manager, accusing her of prioritizing business interests over the family’s emotional needs.
"He Feels Lonely" — A Father’s Concern
According to Teebillz, the string of engagements booked for the award-winning singer has kept her away from their son for long periods. While acknowledging his own share of responsibility, he claimed Vanessa contributed significantly by packing Tiwa’s calendar without considering her role as a mother.
“As lonely as Jamil confessed to me… My son is so hurt not having his mom,” he wrote in part.
He also questioned Vanessa’s professional ethics and motivations, claiming that she was more concerned with her cut from Tiwa Savage’s commercial activities than with the emotional wellbeing of those closest to her client.
Emotional Outburst on Social Media
In the post, Teebillz didn’t mince words. He accused Vanessa of being a “fraud,” and criticized the decision to promote her from a public relations role to full-time manager. He further questioned her industry credibility, writing:
“How the f*ck are you a manager without a Billboard?”
Although the tone of the post was emotional and confrontational, Teebillz stressed that his primary concern was the impact of the situation on their son, and hinted that he intends to be more vocal moving forward:
“I’m back!”
No Response Yet from Tiwa Savage or Vanessa
As of the time of this report, Vanessa Amadi-Ogbonna has not responded publicly to the accusations. Likewise, Tiwa Savage has remained silent on the matter.
The incident comes amid ongoing conversations around the challenges working mothers face in balancing high-demand careers and family life — especially in the entertainment industry.
A Broader Conversation
While the post may have been emotionally charged, it opens a broader dialogue on parental presence, management boundaries, and the human side of fame. As artists continue to expand their global reach, personal sacrifices often become part of the equation — not just for them, but for their families too.
