CorrectNG recalls that Tiwa recently opened up on how she initially loved acting but dumped the idea because of a man she was crushing on.
The ‘Eminado’ crooner said she left her dream of becoming an actor and delved into music just so that she could get closer to her crush, who was usually around musicians.
Tiwa revealed this during a recent interview with MTV Live while speaking on her role as a producer and promoting her new movie project, “Water and Garri”.
According to the mother-of-one, who made her Nollywood debut in the soon-to-be released movie, acting is a full circle moment for her.
She said; “I’ve always wanted to do acting. Acting was one of my first love before music. I got into music because I had a crush on a guy and he was always around the musician so I said ‘Yeah, forget acting and just go into music.’
“So this is a full circle moment for me to come back into doing acting. And executive producing is like a dream for me.”
