Tiwa Savage has revealed that she has attempted taking her life twice. She made this revelation in a Black Box interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
The music star said the incident happened when she moved to London with her mum.
“I moved to London with my mum at age 10. I was teased so badly. They used to call me ‘African girl’, ‘Foo foo’, ‘Your food smells’ and so on. It was terrible. It was so bad that I literally tried to kill myself two times. I was really depressed.
She narrated that her strong Nigerian accent was mocked by her classmates and she had to get a Police escort.
“I was really bullied; they will flush my head down the toilet during lunch break. I had to have a police escort me sometimes because after school they would rush me on the bus.
