Why I Tried To Kill Myself Twice – Singer Tiwa Savage
A popular Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has revealed that she attempted suicide twice.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that in a Black Box interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, on Monday, Tiwa Savage said the incident happened while in school in London.
Tiwa Savage said she almost killed herself due to bullying she received as a black kid in London.
Tiwa Savage who is also a songwriter and the ‘Koroba’ crooner narrated that her strong Nigerian accent was mocked by her classmates and she had to get a Police escort.
She said: “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.
“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.
“These were gangs of girls, it was really bad. I wanted to bleach to be lighter and was growing my hair. The bullying went on for three to four years.”
