In memory of their alleged broken marital union, here’s a walk through the times and seasons of their love.

The Begining – 2010

In 2010, Tiwa Savage moved back to Nigeria with Tee Billz as her manager after the two had met in America a year before.

Tiwa Savage who is an alumnus of the prestigious Bekerly Music School in Boston started off as alternative and R&B singer before meeting Tunji Balogun at a Timaya concert in L.A through a mutual friend.

In 2013, the two continued to fuel dating rumours as they shared photos from their romantic getaway in Dubai. In the second month of 2013, Tee Billz stepped things up by putting a ring on her finger.

Hours after the mental/emotional breakdown, Tee Billz was reported to have attempted suicide. Reports suggested that he almost jumped into a lagoon but was saved by the intervention of close friends; Banky-W and Rudeboy of P-Square.

Following Tee Billz’s Instagram outburst, Tiwa Savage offered a tell-all interview where she gave an unrestrained account of what has been happening in their marriage. Tiwa accused Tee Billz of cheating, financial recklessness, and drug abuse.

Tunji Took Responsibility – 2017
