Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has revealed the challenges she faced after giving birth to her son, saying that motherhood affected her career in unexpected ways.
In a candid interview with YouTuber Korty EO, the singer explained that she initially struggled to bond with her son, Jamil, after discovering she was having a boy instead of the girl she had hoped for.
The emotional strain was compounded by changes in her body after childbirth, which affected her professional opportunities.
“At the time, I was supposed to do a campaign with Pepsi, but they dropped me because my body hadn’t snapped back.
