“My ex-boyfriend was always on set” – Tiwa
While speaking on BET Talks, Tiwa Savage opened up about her ex-boyfriend and how her first day on set was a kissing scene. She also had to brush five to six times for the scene.
The singer stated that was nervous about being with her ex-boyfriend on set.
“The first day on set I had was my kissing scene. I’m glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I need to represent. But, he was very lovely. All of the cast was. They were really really nice.”
She added that she was so interested in the movie that she had to give it her all. Touching on the steamy scenes, Tiwa said she had to brace herself.
She revealed that her boyfriend at the time was sometimes on-set, which made it even more awkward. This comes years after the singer suffered severe backlash following her leaked tape.
“I have a love interest in this movie and sometimes, if we’re like on set, I’d have to remember “that is not your boyfriend Tiwa” [laughs]. You need to calm down. And then my real-life boyfriend at the time would come on set and I would be like “what is he doing here?” [laughs]. We’re not together anymore though, so he can hear this.”
