She also mentioned that she will not be intimidated by people who just wanted to solicit money from her.
âYou hated how I was able to control the narrative and get ahead of a story before it consumed me and how Iâm able to joke on stage about something you thought should destroy me and make me feel ashamed.
“You must knock my head when you see me otherwise @gistloverblog.africa With my full chest,â reads the statement from Tiwa Savage.

âAt first I panicked, even the guy Iâm dating panicked too. But then after some careful deliberations I said I wonât pay. What if they release it even after I have paid or even come back two months later to request for another ransom?
âThatâs what I asked myself. I was like they should go ahead and release, nobody will make me pay for doing something thatâs natural,â she said.
