LAGOS, Nigeria \u2014 Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has ignited a wave of public reaction after revealing she is open to becoming a second wife, citing the marital status and age of most men she encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the American podcast Air Service<\/em>, the award-winning singer said that many of her potential suitors are either already married or in their 50s, prompting her to reconsider traditional expectations around marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I meet somebody who can really marry me, they are either in their 50s or already married,\u201d Savage said. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t know. Maybe I can be a second wife. I think so. I could be a second wife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 43-year-old mother of one added that she would not be a disruptive presence in a polygamous household. \u201cI think I can go along with the first wife and she\u2019s going to love me because I\u2019m not going to be troublesome,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m going to be going on tours, I\u2019m not really going to stress you. I\u2019m very respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Her comments have sparked intense debate across social media, with some praising her honesty and others criticizing the normalization of polygamy among celebrities. Savage herself acknowledged the potential backlash, saying, \u201cI feel like a lot of women are going to have a problem with me saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The singer\u2019s remarks come amid broader conversations about evolving relationship norms in African societies, where polygamy remains legal in many regions but is increasingly contested in urban and elite circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savage\u2019s openness about her dating challenges also touched on her discomfort with being seen as a \u201csugar mama,\u201d a label she said doesn\u2019t reflect her true desires. \u201cI\u2019m like a sugar mama, but I don\u2019t want to be,\u201d she admitted during the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for her chart-topping hits and global tours, Savage has long been a symbol of female empowerment in the Nigerian music industry. Her latest comments, however, suggest a more nuanced view of personal fulfillment and partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some fans have applauded her vulnerability, others argue that public figures should be cautious about endorsing non-traditional marital arrangements, especially in societies grappling with gender equity and family stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savage was previously married to music executive Tunji Balogun, with whom she shares a son. The couple divorced in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
