Celebrated Nigerian female music sensation, Tiwa Savage, has made a painful decision to temporarily stay away from music.

The reason, according to her, is linked to a debilitating virus infection that has affected her vocal cords.

VerseNews reports that the singer, known for her performances and chart-topping hits, made the announcement through an emotional statement on Tuesday, revealing that she is currently grappling with a troublesome virus that has persisted for several weeks.
