 I Was So Broke I Slept In A Shelter – Singer Tiwa Savage

By Emmanuel Awosika

Popular Afropop singer Tiwa Savage said she was so broke at a time that she was forced to sleep in a shelter for drug addicts.

Speaking at a party celebrating the launch of her album Celia, Tiwa Savage said her lack of money meant she had to sleep in the shelter located in Bed-Stuyvesant, New York.

According to her, she had just graduated at the time and could not work because she was yet to secure citizenship status and a work permit.

Unable to work, she had no money and had to live in a shelter. She also revealed that she often went hungry most of the time.

However, her meeting with Elizabeth Elohor, a former beauty queen, in New York had changed things for her.

She revealed that Elohor had taken her out and ordered food for her. When pressed, she confessed to Elohor that she had no money.

“She [Elohor] just started ordering stuff and she even ordered stuff for me to take home.

“I remember going home to my little box or whatever, and I was just crying. This girl literally made my day.

“So, the first time they put my picture in Times Square, she was the first person I called,” she added.

The singer finally advised attendees at the party to stop time from stealing their destiny.
