Popular Nigerian actor, Olumide Owuru, has shared the unforgettable experience of meeting superstar singer Tiwa Savage for the first time when he was just 18 years old.
Speaking during an interview on the TTM Show, Owuru reflected on his early days in the entertainment industry, particularly his time working on MTV Shuga, where he first encountered the award-winning singer.

A former Labour Party House of Assembly candidate in Surulere, Owuru also recalled the warmth and support Tiwa Savage showed him during that period, going as far as taking him to studio sessions.
“She used to take me to the studio where I would hear unreleased songs,” he added.
The actor, who has grown steadily in Nollywood since his teenage years, credited early moments like these for shaping his confidence in the industry.
His story highlights how big names like Tiwa Savage have influenced and supported emerging talents behind the scenes.
