A video showing Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage breaking down in tears during a live performance has surfaced online, sparking widespread reactions across social media.
The emotional moment occurred while the singer was performing her hit song “Somebody’s Son” at the WeLovEya Festival in Cotonou, Benin. Midway into the performance, Tiwa became visibly overwhelmed, struggling to continue singing as she wiped away tears.
Despite the unexpected pause, concertgoers rallied around her, cheering loudly and offering encouragement as she attempted to sing through the emotional moment.
The WeLovEya Festival attracted several top African music stars, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, making Tiwa’s emotional display one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
Tiwa Savage has previously spoken openly about her personal struggles, particularly in relation to love and relationships.
The award-winning singer divorced her former husband, Tunji “TeeBillz” Balogun, in 2018 and has since acknowledged the difficulty of balancing a highly demanding music career with her personal life.
While Tiwa has not publicly explained what triggered the emotional moment on stage, fans have flooded social media with messages of support and admiration for her vulnerability.
