Sensational singer, Tiwa Savage also known as the African Bad Girl has shared a bit of her grass to grace story just before becoming a big music star.
The singer made this known during a surpise party held by family and friends to cleebrate the release of her new album Celia. She went to speak about how she had been broke and lived a shelter where there were drug addicts after graduating from school in New York. Tiwa got emotional as she thanked a friend named Elohor who she revealed was always there for her.
“I think I was 22 and we were in New York, ”¦ I was living in.. kinda like a shelter, a lot of people didn`t know this. It was a shelter for women, they had like drug abusers”¦ I just graduated from school. You know as an international; student, you can`t work, so I couldn`t;t work but I was doing the side(demonstrates with her hands)”¦ It was ”¦ the hood in Brooklyn.
Elohor came to NewYork, Elohor has always been that girl”¦ she`s like let`s go to ”¦ she was like let`s just hook up, let`s go and eat. ”¦ We went to Timesquare, I ordered appetizer because I was so broke and I was so hungry! And I remember she was just looking at me asking what are you ordering and I was like I`m not really hungry”¦ and then she just kept asking me are you sure”¦ and I just started crying and when asked what is the matter I was like Elohor i don`t have money”¦
she started ordering stuff and even ordered stuff for me to take home. .. and I just remembered going home to my box (in the shelter) and I just started crying and I was like I can`t believe this girl just made my day”¦ so the first time when they posted my picture on Timesquare, she was the first person I called to say Elohor do you remember the first time”¦ that was twenty years later”¦ If I gave up five years ago I wouldn`t be saying this story. Don`t let time rob you of your joy”¦”
