Media personality Shade Ladipo has publicly apologised to singer Tiwa Savage for the critical comments she made following the leak of the singer’s private video in 2021.
In an Instagram post, Ladipo admitted that she had unfairly judged Tiwa and initially blamed the singer for the incident. Upon reflection, she acknowledged that her response was misguided and expressed genuine remorse for her past remarks.
“I was one of the people who blasted Tiwa Savage when that sex tape came out. I’ll be honest. I blamed her. I was like, you know what? How can you be over 40? Cause we are mates and you’re still messing around with people like this,” Ladipo confessed.
She added, “In hindsight, I wonder why I was blaming her so hard for something that happened to her. I felt her pain. And I just want to say to you, I love you. I’m sorry!”
The apology comes years after Savage disclosed that she was being blackmailed over a s3x tape involving herself and her partner—an incident that made headlines in October 2021.
Ladipo’s statement reflects a heartfelt acknowledgment of the singer’s experience and serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy in handling sensitive situations.
