Tiwa Savage on Balancing Career and Motherhood

Nigerian music sensation Tiwa Savage recently opened up about the challenges of juggling her successful career while raising her son, Jamil, during an interview on the Big Friday Show, hosted by Tacha. The singer, who welcomed Jamil in 2015 during her marriage to ex-husband Tee Billz, emphasized the importance of support in her life as a single mother.

Savage revealed that she heavily relies on her mother and a long-term nanny, who has been with them since Jamil was three months old. She expressed gratitude for their assistance, stating, “It takes a village, raising my son as a single mum. I always need my mum.” The singer also acknowledged the role of her son’s godmothers in providing additional support during her work travels.

Reflecting on her relationship with her own mother, Tiwa mentioned that the guidance and care never stop, even as children grow into adulthood. “When she sees things online, she still worries about me at my big age. Our jobs don’t end,” she said, highlighting the enduring nature of maternal care.

In the interview, Tiwa Savage celebrated the multitasking abilities of women, asserting, “I think as women we can juggle lots of things at once; that’s our superpower. I can literally be a full-time mum and a full-time career woman.” Her remarks resonate with many working mothers striving to balance their professional and personal lives.

As Tiwa gears up for her forthcoming album, her insights into motherhood and career serve as an inspiration to many, proving that with the right support, it is indeed possible to excel in both domains.
