Nigerian Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage has shared her experiences as a single mother and musician.

In a candid interview on the Big Friday Show with Tacha, she spoke about her upcoming album, creative process, and the challenges of managing her career while raising her son, Jamil.

Tiwa Savage emphasized the importance of support in her life as a single mother, highlighting the vital role her own mother plays in helping her raise Jamil.

She also mentioned the contributions of their long-time nanny and her son’s godmothers, who assist with childcare when she travels for work.

The singer noted that motherhood is a continuous journey, even as children grow older.

She referenced her own mother’s ongoing care and concern for her well-being, illustrating that parental responsibilities don’t end when children become teenagers.

Tiwa Savage also celebrated the capabilities of women in balancing multiple responsibilities, citing their ability to juggle various roles as a “superpower.”

She confidently stated that she can fulfill her duties as both a full-time mother and career woman.

She said:

“It takes a village, raising my son as a single mum I always need my mum. I call on my mum, she’s very instrumental, and we have a nanny that has been with us since he was three months old, and he’s nine now, so she has been with us for nine years.

“I look at my mum, and she still mothers me at this age. She still calls to ask if I’ve eaten and tells me to drink lots of water and rest. When she sees things online, she still worries about me at my big age. Our jobs don’t end.

“And for me, 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 a full time career woman.”
