In a candid Instagram story, the Afrobeat superstar revealed that she is not immune to the hardships many Nigerians are facing, stating that she hustles day and night to meet her obligations as a single mother.
The message served as a public service announcement to followers who frequently request financial assistance. In her words: ‘Because even me sef, the economy don show me shege.
‘I am a single mother abeg, I dey hustle night and day. May God bless us all.”
Tiwa’s revelation has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many fans expressing empathy for the award-winning artist who, despite her fame and success, is facing economic pressures like everyone else.
Known for her bold persona and openness, she has never shied away from addressing public expectations or setting the record straight.
Earlier this year, Tiwa swam with sharks to fulfill a bucket list dream, a stunt that shocked many but also prompted the singer to draw a sharp comparison with her reality. “There are more dangerous people in this music industry,” she wrote in response to fans concerned for her safety.
Her posts continue to offer glimpses into her personal life and mindset, balancing glamour with grit. Tiwa also reaffirmed her faith on social media, writing, “I can never worry when God is the one who watches over me,” a sentiment that resonates with many of her followers in tough times.
Last year, she tackled criticism suggesting she does not support other female artists. She challenged the narrative with evidence, showcasing her numerous collaborations with female stars including Waje, Simi, Ayra Starr, Amaarae, and Becca.
