===2010–2013: ''Once Upon a Time'', record deal and endorsements===
{{Quote box |quoted=true |bgcolor=#bbccff |salign=center
|quote  = This album is straight from my heart and it's something that I've worked so tirelessly for. A lot of people wondered why it took me so long a time to drop my own album. That's because we had to go through a lot of legal processes to clear some of the samples that we used, and that took us some months. Also, we wanted to work with notable producers outside the shores of the country like Oak who produces Rihanna. So, we had to work around his schedule and waited for them to have our time. But this album is something that I really took my time with because I didn't want it to be the usual Nigerian album that contains just party tracks from the beginning till the end.

In October 2021, Savage told [[WWPR-FM|Power 105.1]]'s [[Angie Martinez]] that she was blackmailed over a leaked video of herself and her partner having sex.<ref>{{cite web |title=Breaking: Afrobeats Queen Tiwa Savage being extorted over Sex Tape |url=https://power1051.iheart.com/featured/angie-martinez/content/2021-10-07-breaking-afrobeats-queen-tiwa-savage-being-extorted-over-sex-tape/ |website=Power 105.1 |access-date=18 February 2023 |date=7 October 2021 |archive-date=18 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230218145303/https://power1051.iheart.com/featured/angie-martinez/content/2021-10-07-breaking-afrobeats-queen-tiwa-savage-being-extorted-over-sex-tape/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Savage's partner accidentally uploaded the video to [[Snapchat]] and took it down almost immediately. However, someone captured the video before it was deleted and threatened to release it if they weren't monetarily compensated. Savage refused to give the person money and instead decided to publicly speak about the leaked video in order to own the narrative.<ref>{{Cite news |author1=Jayne Augoye |title=How my sex tape got leaked – Tiwa Savage |url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/music/488929-how-my-sex-tape-got-leaked-tiwa-savage.html |newspaper=[[Premium Times]]|access-date=11 February 2023 |date=8 October 2021 |archive-date=27 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221227230711/https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/music/488929-how-my-sex-tape-got-leaked-tiwa-savage.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Savage revisited the incident on her 2022 single "[[Loaded (Tiwa Savage and Asake song)|Loaded]]" with [[Asake]].<ref>{{Cite news |author1=Solution Emmanuel |title=Loaded: Tiwa Savage recalls sex tape, shades bloggers in new song with Asake |url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/music/564234-loaded-tiwa-savage-recalls-sex-tape-shades-bloggers-in-new-song-with-asake.html?tztc=1 |newspaper=[[Premium Times]]|access-date=11 February 2023 |date=8 November 2022 |archive-date=11 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230211044512/https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/music/564234-loaded-tiwa-savage-recalls-sex-tape-shades-bloggers-in-new-song-with-asake.html?tztc=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
