Tiwa Savage’s Ex Blames Manager for Son’s Alleged Neglect

Tiwa, Teebillz & Jamil

In a revelation that has sparked public debate and rekindled conversations around co-parenting in celebrity homes, Teebillz, the ex-husband of Afrobeat queen Tiwa Savage, has publicly accused her manager of being responsible for the alleged neglect of their son, Jamil Balogun.

While the Nigerian entertainment industry often buzzes with drama, this development cuts deeper, touching on sensitive issues like parental responsibility, the emotional toll of stardom, and the blurred lines between personal and professional relationships.

The Allegation: Manager Overstepping Bounds?

Teebillz, in a strongly worded social media post, implied that Tiwa Savage’s manager, who plays a pivotal role in managing her career and brand, has allegedly been influencing decisions around their son—decisions he believes have led to neglect. According to him, the manager has assumed a gatekeeping role that restricts his access and influence over his child’s welfare.

While details remain scarce, sources close to the matter suggest that Teebillz has become increasingly frustrated with what he perceives as "deliberate exclusion" from major decisions concerning their son's upbringing, including schooling and time-sharing schedules.

Tiwa Savage’s Silence and Public Reactions

Tiwa Savage, who is known to maintain a dignified silence in personal controversies, has yet to respond publicly. However, public opinion is split. While some sympathize with Teebillz’s emotional plea as a father, others have criticized him for airing private family issues in public again.

Many fans recall that this isn't the first time Teebillz has taken to social media to vent his frustrations. In contrast, Tiwa has generally refrained from public confrontations, focusing instead on her music and motherhood.

The Bigger Picture: Co-Parenting in the Spotlight

This issue has reignited broader societal questions about co-parenting, especially among divorced or separated public figures. Celebrity careers often involve extensive travel, odd working hours, and heavy reliance on managers and personal assistants. This can lead to scenarios where personal roles are unintentionally outsourced, sometimes to the detriment of the children involved.

Child psychologists have also weighed in, warning about the long-term psychological effects on children who become the subject of public disputes between parents.

Where Do Things Go From Here?

The situation calls for a reset one that prioritizes the welfare of the child over public image or ego clashes. Experts suggest mediation between both parents with neutral third-party involvement, away from the glare of social media, could help prevent further damage.

As the story develops, Nigerians are reminded of a powerful truth: fame is fleeting, but the responsibility of parenthood is forever.
