Nigerian Singer Tiwa Savage has opened up on  attempting suicide after moving to the United Kingdom aged 10

The Afrobeat star made this know while Speaking in an interview with media personality Ebuka, on Bounce Radio.

According to Koroba hitmaker,  she was bullied as a black kid by her classmates who mocked her strong Nigerian accent.

“I thought I was going for a holiday and I was supposed to go to the Air Force. I had enrolled and shaved my hair, then she (mother) said we have to quickly go to London for a vacation, and I was excited and bragged to all my friends,” Tiwa said.

She continued: “Then we got to London and she said ‘We are staying’ and it was freezing and was not what I expected. When I got to school it was horrible I will never forget. I was teased so bad. They used to call me ‘African girl’, ‘Fufu’, ‘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,” she said.
