Davido, Tiwa Savage
Nigerian superstar Davido has pledged to protect fellow artist Tiwa Savage “with all that he has,” putting to rest a year‑long dispute that began when Savage accused him of threatening her life.
The disagreement dates back to January 2024, after Tiwa Savage posted a photo with Davido’s first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, on social media.
Tiwa Savage subsequently filed a petition alleging that Davido had sent her a threatening message. In the fallout, Savage’s ex‑husband, Teebillz, even warned that he would “teach Davido a lesson.”
Speaking on New York’s Breakfast Club this week, Davido described the incident as a misunderstanding between friends. “We used to stay in the same house,” he said, noting that Tiwa Savage was a close friend of Sophia. He stressed that there was no real animosity between them.
Davido referred to Savage as his “sister for life” and praised her impact on the music industry. “Tiwa changed the game for females. We are family, and I love her and her child,” he said. “It’s just like a brother and sister fight. She did reach out. I will never allow anything to happen to her.”
With both artists now reconciled, fans are hopeful for future collaborations. For now, Davido says his top priority is Savage’s safety. “If anyone ever tries to harm her, they’ll have to go through me,” he concluded.
