“Jamil Is Lonely”: Teebillz Calls Out Tiwa Savage’s Manager, Sparks Debate on Parenting and Celebrity Life
Nigerian music executive Teebillz has set social media buzzing with a heartfelt, controversial outburst, calling out Vanessa Amadi-Ogbonna, the longtime manager of his ex-wife, Tiwa Savage.
In a series of emotionally charged posts on Instagram, Teebillz accused Vanessa of prioritizing business over motherhood, claiming her tight scheduling of Tiwa Savage’s engagements has led to their son, Jamil, feeling neglected and lonely.
💔 “Our Son Is Hurting” — Teebillz Gets Real
“My son is so hurt not having his mom and I’m guilty too... but respectively, f*ck you Vanessa,” Teebillz wrote.
While admitting his own faults in their parenting dynamic, Teebillz pointed fingers squarely at Vanessa, alleging that her primary concern is commission and clout, not the emotional well-being of the young boy.
“You only care about %. I hired you as a PR and the mother of my child made you a manager out of guilt… How are you a manager without a Billboard?”
🧩 The Bigger Picture: Fame, Family & Fatigue
Behind the fiery words lies a deeper conversation about what it costs to be a celebrity parent—especially one at the level of Tiwa Savage.
Tiwa, who has consistently remained one of the most in-demand African artists globally, has been juggling international tours, brand deals, and studio work. It’s no secret the music industry demands relentless grind. But at what cost?
Teebillz’s claims have struck a nerve with many Nigerians who feel that celebrity children often bear the emotional consequences of their parents' success.
🤔 OPINION — Painful Truth or Public Overshare?
While some critics argue that Teebillz should have handled the matter privately, others are applauding him for speaking up for the emotional needs of his child, a topic rarely addressed in celebrity circles.
“Say what you want about how he said it, but loneliness in a child is no joke,” one X user wrote.
Another added,
“Parents owe children more than school fees and a big name. They owe them presence.”
Still, some felt the post was impulsive and damaging, especially without Vanessa’s side of the story.
🎤 What Comes Next?
As of now, Vanessa Amadi-Ogbonna has not issued a public response. But the post has prompted wider questions:
Should celebrity managers schedule with family time in mind?
Can a superstar really have it all — global success and active parenting — without something suffering?
And how should co-parenting responsibilities be shared fairly in the spotlight?
🧠 Final Thought
Teebillz may have sparked controversy, but he’s also opened a door to an important national conversation:
Success should never come at the cost of a child’s emotional well-being.
Whether you're a star or not, parenting isn’t part-time.
