What's going on between Tiwa Savage, her hubby and Etcetera?

A few days ago, singer Etcetera published an article on his facebook page, where he out rightly condemned female celebrities for marrying 2nd hand husbands.

Citing celebrity couple Tiwa Savage and Tunji Balogun who got married in Dubai last weekend as examples, he wrote:

“Some days ago I was at a friend's place and was asked by his sisters if I was traveling abroad for the wedding of a colleague that is still being talked about on blogs and on all social networking sites in Nigeria and I said no I wasn't. But what struck me as odd was when one of them asked me "is she getting married to a brand new husband or a 2nd hand husband"? I stared at her in shock and confusion because up until that moment, I had never heard of a phrase as "brand new or 2nd hand husband. It became a heated debate amongst people in the house that day. 'Wow', I never thought a phrase like 2nd hand can be attributed to a human being. I know it is only applicable to objects.

At first I was angry. How could they have said such. But as crazy and odd as it may have sounded, they drew my attention to their observations that it is a trend currently popular amongst female celebrities in Nigeria. How do you determine if a husband is a 2nd hand? I asked myself. I was later told that a man becomes a 2nd hand if he was previously married or is still married to another woman before taking a new wife.

Why do Nigerian female celebrities prefer 2nd hand husbands. Or Why would anyone prefer a 2nd hand husband? But come to think of it, Is it that our female celebrities can no longer afford the luxury of waiting for the brand new ones to come along? Or have the brand new ones refused to be fooled by the razzmatazz or flashy make ups, thick foundations, artificial nails, Brazilian hair and Peruvian eye lashes? Can it be attributed to a thing of choice?

As my Curiosity got the better of me, I asked them for names of female celebrities with 2nd hand husbands. I was shocked beyond recognition that the list they gave me was as long as the distance from mile 2 to Badagry. According to the list, almost all married female celebrity in nigeria has a 2nd hand husband and even some of the female celebrities themselves are 2nd hand. And some of the male celebrities also have 2nd hand wives or they themselves are 2nd hand. Well, if you don't believe me, make a list of your own and be amazed as I am right now.”

Reacting to the article, songstress Tiwa Savage took to her Instagram page a while ago and blasted him.

"You are not in a position to discuss how male artists are gigolos, most of them came after you and by His grace have achieved more And before all you itoosabi come on here saying I am a celebrity And I should expect public scrutiny, that's all well and good if the public have the right information but they don't most of the time I'm off to the beach to show more of my bikini body because I'm married I should turn into a nun Abi, maybe if you worked on your body your husband will not be drooling over me PS don't forget to vote for me at the MTVMAMA awards #dorodiva"

Her husband, Tee Bilz also wrote “I don't owe You Shit so I won't answer to your speculations ECETERA but…please Find Pictures of My First Marriage. Maybe ECETERA Can Help Locate It.”
