A while ago, she narrated that she once lived from hand to mouth in a shelter meant for poor people with drug addiction-related issues in New York because she had little or no money.
The music star revealed this during a surprise party just for 20 guests organised by her friends to celebrate her latest album Celia.
In an emotional laden voice, while appreciating her friend Elizabeth Elohor of Beth Model, Tiwa said she was 22 when she was living at the shelter. She explained how difficult it was for her meeting her needs because she could not work as an international student.
