“The way it happened, he announced it online. I didn’t break up with him, but I was the one being attacked,” Tiwa shared. “My baby was just a few months old. My body wasn’t the same; I was dealing with postpartum and depression. Only a handful of people came to see me. Everyone went to him.”  

Tiwa described how the fallout intensified when she tried to share her side of the story.
