Ever since the intimate video of Tiwa Savage and her lover
surfaced on the internet days ago, there have been various speculations and
opinions about the incident, especially online.
Shortly after the s...3..x tape leaked, Nigerian celebrities, in
a move to support the sonorous singer in her dark times, posted messages on their
social media pages with hashtags like ‘A Queen I stan’, ‘I stand with Tiwa’.
They did this despite the fact that the Koroba singer urged
her fans to disregard the s....3...x tape during her interview with American OAP Angie
Martinez of 105.1, where she revealed that she was being blackmailed with a s...3...x
tape.
The recent news flying around claims that the leaked s..3/..x tape has cost the singer about four endorsement deals. Although the reports are unconfirmed, popular Nigerian actress, Georgina has shared her two cents about the issue via her verified Instagram page.
According to Onuoha, after the s..3..x tape leaked, Nigerian
celebrities did a disservice to Tiwa Savage with their comments on social
media.
Her statement read in part, “Sad if this is true. Personally,
as Georgina, I pray Tiwa pulls through this. She is immensely talented and
gifted. She has the world stage on her laps. She did not commit a crime; she is
the victim but damn my colleagues did her a disservice with their ‘A Queen I
stand’ rhetoric.
“We all should learn to weigh issues critically before our
support becomes an indictment of the person we are trying to support. She took
the initial step of going public about her being blackmailed, which was
proactive and smart of her. My ill-informed colleagues did her a disservice.
“The narrative should
have been, ‘Say No to Blackmailers’ who breached her privacy. Instead, their
ignorance came off as celebratory of her mistakes. They did Tiwa bad. I’m still
praying for her to get us a Grammy soon. She will rise from this.”
Citing the case of American reality TV star and beauty
cosmetic mogul, Kim Kardashian, who also had a leaked s...3..x tape with singer Ray
Jay, which was released on February 2007, Onuoha advised Tiwa Savage to
apologise to the public and move on with her life.
“According to PR EXPERT Lauretta, sometimes, not all
publicity is good publicity. Kim Kardashian went on an apology tour on every TV
and significant talk show in America and issued public apologies to save her
brand 15 years ago. Tiwa is no longer a Nigerian brand; she is a global brand.
“I hope she pulls through this, learns her lessons,
apologises for this mistake. If I were on her PR team, I would suggest a public
apology. Most of you will say it’s not needed, as her bla bla bla did not leak
the tape. Still, if you understand PR, you will appreciate that an apology is
necessary to her family-oriented fans; she apologies for letting such happen to
even get to the media whilst also playing the victim because she is still the
victim and then move on.
“Do you know that with all the popularity Kim K has, that
some brands will never use her as their ambassador? You might say she doesn’t
need it but trust me, her team wishes those brands will contact her.
“Yes, we all make mistakes, but for every action, there are
some consequences. (My favourite line to my children). I am paying for some
mistakes I made in the past (not s.3..x tapes lol) but I learnt from them,
apologised where necessary and faced the consequences and moved on,” she said.
