Yesterday it was reported in the media (not NET) that pop diva Tiwa Savage was expecting her second child with her husband TeeBillz. Before fans could send their congratulations to her, she shot it down swiftly with a disclaimer: nothing here, just ‘a happy weight gain’.
This is not the first time Ms Savage would have to debunk news of her being with child: in 2013 just before her wedding ceremony in Lagos, it was reported that she was pregnant. She refuted the claim by describing her tummy bulge as a result of eating ‘too much puff-puff’ at an event.
‘I think they got those stories because of (what happened) yesterday (Saturday)…and what happened was that I ate too much puff-puff that made my tummy bulge,’ she said at the time.
Turned out that in fact, she wasn’t pregnant yet: her son Jamil did not arrive until 2015.
However, during the marital crisis that almost ended her marriage to TeeBillz last year, she revealed that she had a miscarriage few months prior. Thankfully she and her husband have been working on their marriage- and have been seen in occasional public displays of affection.
So Tiwa Savage fans, please let her enjoy her weight gain. When she has an oven in the bun, she will most certainly announce it by herself.
