Why I've Given Up on Love - Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has had a very public up and down relationship with romance. She was married, and then we all watched it end very dramatically on the internet. She has been a number of relationships that we've seen glimpses of, and heard music about. But now, Tiwa Savage is saying she's no longer looking for love, especially after her last couple of relationships.

The "Koroba" songstress made this revelation on The Receipts Podcast where she opened up about why she's no longer searching for love. Here's what Tiwa had to say.

Tiwa made the revelation during the interview when she was asked "After the heartbreak, what is it now that you are looking for?" to which she said:

TIWA SAVAGE: Nothing, I am just looking for money. I'm done with the love aspect of life. I feel like I've tried it. I've tried marriage, I've tried relationships, it's not for me. No. It's going to be VERY hard for somebody to get me again, to get my heart. My boundaries are HIGH. The last couple nearly took me out.

When the new album comes out, you will hear it and you're going to be like that song! There's one song there, actually two, where I was crying. It was just about the emotion that I went through with one relationship.

I felt so bad because I was crying my eyes out one day, and I was like God, I know there is somebody somewhere that has cancer, that has lost a child, that has deeper issues. But this felt like my world was crumbling. I was hating myself and I was crying. I was like I know that you have other people's prayers that you need to deal with, and that mine is a heart ache, it's not a terminal illness, I shouldn't feel this bad. But I do. And I just couldn't get myself out of bed. I

t got me so much to the point that I wasn't doing this album for streams or number ones or whatever. I just had to get it out. So this album is very very personal. The hardest time was between when I wake up and 3 in the afternoon. Because it's just like oh, this is not a dream, this is real. It was hard. It was really hard. And I feel like some of the songs are still hard for me to even listen to, so I wonder how I'm going to perform them.
