Highlights from Tiwa Savage's E! VIP documentary..

Tiwa Savage had another wow moment in her career as she was featured on E!. Tiwa Savage's life was the focus on a latest episode of E! VIP series which features a short documentary on the life of an entertainer. 

And here are some of the things we learnt about Africa's finest, Tiwa Savage.

• Tiwa was a Tomboy growing up. She wasn't into girly stuffs. It got so bad that people around and even her parents thought she was Gay.

• It took a lot to convince her parents to let her do music.. Tiwa Said: As a kid, I wanted to be an entertainer but my  parents they were like No. Choose one. Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or one of those ones. Music is not was option. 

• She studied  business and accounts in school

•  She got a job, saved to finance her musical career in in the beginning.

When I graduated, I said to my dad ‘Here is your degree, I have given you want you want and I’m going to do music’. They were like ‘No, you can’t move to America, you need money’ So I got a job as a trainee accountant and I got tired of counting other people’s money.I wanted to start counting my own money because I thought Hey there is a whole lot of money around here. What’s going on? That was a transition. It got to a point that every morning I’ll wake up and I’ll be depressed going to work. I wanted to sing and at that point I was prepared to lose everything. That’s when I knew there was a big calling on my life to do this.”

• TeeBillz helped give her image a face-lift and build the Tiwa Savage brand.
• She wasn't sure of herself in the begining. She felt she could not compete with other women out there in the industry. What she said below;

• 

When I moved to America. I went to study music at the Berkley college of music. Then I moved to L.A. Now when you move to L.A. There are a lot of beautiful people there. Their skin is glowing, their teeth is perfect, their hair is amazing and I’m like looking around and for someone who doesn’t wax, I have like a uni-brow.”She then met TeeBillz who became her manager and molded her into the Tiwa Savage brand we know today.

I met my manager who is now my husband. He saw me and was like ‘you could be really pretty if you put an effort into it’ and I was like ‘wait what do you mean’ and he was like ‘you need to lose a little weight, wax your legs; that might be attractive. So he just literally put me through this whole program and told me that ‘the music is great, the talent is there but 80% of it is branding’. ‘So if you want to do the tom-boy thing, you have to take it to the extreme if you want to be hot and sexy you have to take it to the extreme. So I started learning how to wear heels and he basically just groomed me into the image of Tiwa Savage that we see now.

On her Marriage,

• She and her now estranged husband argued at their wedding reception.

So we just had this little tiff outside and we are like arguing and everyone is like ‘welcome the beautiful bride and the groom and we are dancing in and he’s just like grumbling and it’s on camera. So everyone watching are like ‘Wait where you guys just arguing so it’s real but there are cute moments and real moments,” 

• Her son Jamil has made her a happier woman.

“Every time I think of that little man, it’s a mixture of emotions. I’m happy, blessed but sometimes I’m also a little scared. He’s so precious. You and I know how cruel this world can be but sometimes I feel like he should just stay in this age where i can always protect him. Every time when I wake up and I see him, all of that just goes through my mind makes me work so much harder. I work so much more because I want leave a legacy for him. I want him to be proud of his mum. I want him to one day look at this interview with his wife and be like ‘that’s my mama"
