Thursday, 28 April 2016 will forever remain in the memory
of fans and lovers of the Nigerian entertainment industry as the day the
biggest (yes! Biggest) marital scandal in the Nigerian entertainment
industry shook the airways.
TeeBillz, the estranged husband of the superstar &
family breadwinner Tiwa Savage would probably be locking his wounds at
this moment because he pushed on the ‘self-destruct’ button. We may all
have our opinions on what he should have done or what he shouldn’t have
done, but truth be told, TeeBillz was emotionally unstable as at the
time of he made those instagram posts. Let’s run through the events
step by step
WHAT COULD PROBABLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RANTS?
It’s stange seeing an adult Nigerian being overcome by
emotions to the point where he had to go public, really? TeeBillz?
Certain factors would have pushed him. I think he was just an attention
seeker who didn’t care about the lengths he went to get the attention he
desired or who he brushed along the way side, otherwise, what was with
the public suicide attempt? How did Banky and Peter Okoye know exactly
where to find him? He would have quietly killed himself at home, simple!
HIS ACCUSATIONS
Firstly, TeeBillz sent a message to the world as a man of
excuses, a guy that wouldn’t take responsibilities for his failure, a
guy that doesn’t care about ‘ the bro code’, a guy that absolutely lacks
respect (call my mother a witch and I promise, those would be your last
words). I’m going to focus on few of his accusations, did Tiwa Savage
sleep with those people mentioned? Before Tiwa’s ‘pre-meditated’ video,
the world called her a cheat and believed she slept with those men, but
after the video, everyone turned on TeeBillz (I wonder why he hasn’t
made his own video, lol). Personally, I think Tiwa slept with those men
(well, no one cares about this no more because she has turned on
TeeBillz), listen to her video, she said ‘I have never CHEATED ON MY
HUSBAND’, smart girl. She more than likely slept with them before
marriage to TeeBillz and of course, the impression is ‘he doesn’t have a
right to complain about that, afterall they weren’t married at the
time’. It’s not easy seeing your wife working with the same people you
know she slept with, not easy at all.TeeBillz was sleeping with her as
her manager and presumably Don Jazzy was doing same, why is he hurt?
That’s life!
Now, to the ‘I made you’ comment. Tiwa was an investment to
TeeBillz (all ‘good’ managers do this) and she was also satisfying his
sexual needs, it’s a case of a boyfriend fending for his girlfriend, so I
really don’t know what he’s talking about there, he’s lucky to have
made her and even married her that it wasn’t a case of ‘monkey work,
baboon chop’. TeeBillz struck me as an egocentric with this singular
statement!
TIWA’S VIDEO
First of all, let me say this, I never expected Tiwa to reply, at least not so soon or if she had to, she probably should have made the ‘private matter, give us privacy as we handle this’ statement. She went full blast and Nigerians, so blind to see the ploy are taking her words as her bond. Were you expecting her to come out and admit to cheating (how many of your girlfriend’s have you caught cheating red-handed have admitted to it?) or to confirm that all TeeBillz said was true? It was a case of ‘you shot at me with a pistol, now I’m him repay the favour with a bazooka’. That interview was witty, devious and wrong! She appealed to the sympathy of the world with her looks, the doctored questions (obviously the questionns were, as Azuka was no where near her usual deep probing and manipulating self), cried when it wasn’t nevessary and answered questions she wasn’t even asked. I’m sorry but this interview puts Tiwa in the same category of baby-brained stars Davido, Wizkid and whoever (shoot me if you dare). Tiwa: cocaine, edible catering, 45 million, pampers? Who ask you? What did you expect when you married a stud wearing, barber obsessed and Edible Catering possessed divorcee? The more I look at this fracas, the more I adore Tubaba, no one has suffered more in the hands of the media than this guy but he has stayed cool, made jokes out of them or even made music with the slander (enter the place, make we see if you no go carry belle too)

THE AFTERMATH:
I think this is going to have lots and lots of
consequences. Firstly, TeeBillz is completely finished. Except of course
friends like Banky W (the only friend that didn’t sleep with his wife
according to his infamous IG posts) and Edible Catering (that he
chilled with and nothing happened but she knocked him out with her
cooking throughout the night) decide to give him jobs AT THEIR OWN RISK.
His marriage is over as the people that would probably have talked Tiwa
back in were all fingered in his rants. His artistes are already
looking for new managers (CDQ already distanced himself from him saying
‘Na God be my oga’). I saw some comments saying Tiwa would be in trouble
for harbouring a cocaine addict without reporting to the necessary
authorities, NEWS FLASH: As the wife to the addict, under the law, Tiwa
is not obliged to report or testify against him as long as they are
still legally married (though they are ‘media-lly divorced), therefore
she has no case to answer
THE SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSE
First of all, Freeze, really? At 40, you still make this
silly mistake, hearing from one side and showing sympathy, then hearing
from the other side and then showing more sympathy without making the
first person you showed sympathy feel bad because that’s where your
allegiance lies. The sooner you realise that there are three sides to a
story, your side, my side and the truth, the better for everyone,
meanwhile, I wonder what criteria you used in naming TeeBillz the ‘most
wonderful person’, Baba calm down oh. Tubaba as expectedly said all we
expected, ‘he’s still sitting on the fence’ and Kate Henshaw, wow!
TeeBillz got what he deserved? since when did two wrongs make one right?
So far, we don’t know what to think anymore, let’s wait for the ensuing
episode.
From a neutral point of view, we don’t want to see none of
this no more, but Nigerians, brace yourselves up as this is just the
beginning even as you pray for the family especially JamJam
