The hall was packed full! Artistes, fans, journalists and stakeholders in the entertainment industry thronged the Wheat baker Hotel, Ikoyi last Sunday. It was Tiwa Savage’s album listening session. Though slated for 3.00pm, the show didn’t start until 5.20pm when the sexy diva breezed in with her fiancé/manager, TJ Billz Balogun. Indeed, Tiwa oozes sexiness! Attired in a print-patterned dress, the Kelekele crooner, who is reputed to be the ‘hottest’ diva in Nigeria, held the men spellbound with her new looks. She looked good and appeared to be enjoying her new life.
Entitled, ‘Once upon a time,’ the 19-track album is said to be one of her best. Surprisingly, Don Jazzy, who is the CEO of Marvin Records, and members of his crew, were not present. Tiwa was the first female artiste signed on by the Marvin Records label last year.
Tiwa, who used to be a back-up singer for international acts like Mary J. Blige, George Michael, Chaka Kan and Emma Bunton, enjoyed a good relationship with the Marvin crew, especially Don Jazzy, before her affair with TJ became public a few months ago.
