A popular female musician has revealed that
she tried to kill herself twice.
Tiwa Savage said she attempted to take her
own life as a result of the bullying she received
as a black kid in London.
The award winning singer and songwriter
shared this information during her Black Box
interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Bounce
Live Radio.
She said she moved to London with her mother
at the age of 10. She also said her strong
Nigerian accent at the time was mocked by her
classmates in school.

In her words:
“I was teased so bad. 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.”
