Tiwa Savage Sex video

Tiwa Savage has revealed she is being blackmailed over a sex tape but says she won't pay.

She said the video was accidentally posted on Snapchat by her lover who deleted it after he realised his error but it had already been downloaded by a stalker.

She said she cried when she first saw the video and feared the reaction.

Savage, 41, is one of the world's biggest Afrobeats stars and is signed to Universal Music Group.

She is famous for songs such as Kele Kele and Eminado and was part of Don Jazzy's Mavin Records in Nigeria, where she was known as First Lady.

"I am not going to call it a sex tape but it's a tape between me and the person I am dating right now," she told radio host Angie Martinez of Power 105.1 in New York.

She revealed that the incident happened last month and that the person tried extorting money from her but that she was not going to allow anyone to blackmail her "for doing something that is natural".

"I am that crazy I could put it out myself - you are not making any money off me," she said.

She is currently in the US where she is promoting her latest album Water and Garri, which has collaborations with US stars such as Brandy and Nas.
