In the last couple of days, the social media scene has been a buzz with reports of alleged rancour in the marriage of Nigeria’s leading pop act, Tiwa Savage who got married to her Manager Tunji Balogun ‘TeeBillz’ on April 26, 2014 at a lavish celebrity wedding in Dubai.
There are several versions of the story making rounds, with some having it that the marriage has packed up because Teebillz has turned the singer into a punching bag while another version say the sharing formula of the money the couple makes is tearing them apart.
We have since began investigations into the story to ascertain the real cause of the rancour. Without mincing words, Tiwa Savage’s marriage to Teebillz is indeed troubled but the two are making efforts to patch things up.
As at the time of filing this report, Teebillz no longer manages Tiwa Savage and they no longer attend events together. In fact, Tiwa savage now has a new manager that goes to most events with her. And her new manager is a protégé of TeeBillz who goes by the name, Emeka and is otherwise known within the industry as Mekka Millions.
Mekka Millions has been within the entertainment industry for a couple of years before he got recruited by TeeBillz to join 323 entertainment. Before now, Mekka Millions horned his skills managing several fast rising acts and also currently manages fast rising rapper, Olusegun Olowokere popularly known as Iceberg Slim.
Mekka has been the one picking calls directed to Tiwa Savage’s lines and he accompanies her to events and currently acts as Tiwa Savage’s manager.
However, Mekka still pledges his allegiance and loyalty to Teebillz. In his birthday message to Teebillz on September 26, he wrote, ‘Happy Birthday big bro, boss and mentor. You gave the homie a chance and put me on the team. God continue to bless and put you forward in everything you do.#323boss’.
Mekka Millions was also very influential in getting his artiste, ‘Iceberg Slim’ to feature on Tiwa Savage’s debut album on the 12th track titled ‘Shout Out’ featuring Ice Berg Slim and Sarkodie.
