Shade Ladipo, the controversial media personality has tendered a public apology to Tiwa Savage for calling her out in 2021, over singer’s viral leaked sex tape.

Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday, Ladipo disclosed in a video posted that she judged the singer and mother of one unfairly at the time.

The media personality further explained that listening to Tiwa’s latest album, This One is Personal made her connect with her pain.

In her words: “I was one of the people who blasted Tiwa Savage when that s3x tape came out. I’ll be honest. I blamed her. I was like, you know what? How can you be over 40? Cause we are mates and you’re still messing around with people like this.

“In hindsight, I wonder why I was blaming her so hard for something that happened to her. I felt her pain. And I just want to say to you, I love you. I’m sorry!”

Recall that Tiwa Savage before her sextape went viral revealed she is being blackmailed over the tape but said she won’t pay.

“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”.
