Tiwa Savage is on the cover of the November issue of Genevieve Magazine.

Read excerpts from interview;
"Well, it’s a condition some women have towards the end of their pregnancy. For me, it was a period where I had high blood pressure, my feet got terribly swollen and I could hardly walk. Plus, my baby was overdue by about 7-8 days!
At the end, they decided to induce me to labour because they were worried about my condition. It was a painful ordeal but I thank God everything went well, the singer said.
"I went ahead with that performance because my doctor had given me the go ahead. And I had also contacted a local doctor out there," she added.
The actress also spoke on performing and being energetic in her condition;
"However, even though I did do a few other performances like that; I wasn’t planning to be that energetic at that event. But I got so much love from the crowd in Uganda and it was very emotional for me, considering the stage of the pregnancy at the time."
"Before, I got there; I had doubts about how I would be received and if I was going to be made to sit on a stool during the performance. But when I got there, everyone was warm, loving and understanding of my situation."
In all, that performance was unexpected. I got that energy from somewhere, but trust me, the next day I was in bed all day," she said.
