Recent online rumors attributed to Tiwa Savage claim that she called her past relationship with Wizkid a major mistake. Allegedly, she stated, “I made a very big mistake by dating Wizkid. I don’t date guys below my age; I have been disrespected many times just for dating him.” The quotes further suggest that she believes women face disrespect for dating younger men, while men receive praise for dating older women.
The supposed statements imply a shift in Tiwa’s dating preferences, with her reportedly saying, “Before I date a guy, he must be in his 50s or 60s with enough money so that I can enjoy myself and be happy.” She allegedly expressed frustration over receiving negative attention for dating someone younger and insisted that she cannot see herself dating younger men anymore.
However, these statements have not been substantiated, as no corresponding quotes can be found on Tiwa Savage’s official accounts or credible news sources. While Tiwa has indeed cultivated a ‘bad girl’ image that invites speculation about her personal life, she has consistently clarified that her relationship with Wizkid is strictly professional, focusing on their musical collaborations rather than a romantic connection.
In interviews, Savage has emphasized her friendship and mutual business interests with Wizkid, rather than confirming any romantic involvement. She has been vocal about her focus on her career while dismissing much of the speculation surrounding her personal life.
The discussion about age differences in relationships, particularly in Nigerian and Yoruba cultures, often attracts scrutiny, especially regarding high-profile partnerships like that of Tiwa Savage and Wizkid. While there tends to be a double standard in societal judgments—where women are often criticized for dating younger men—Tiwa has not publicly echoed the sentiments attributed to her in these alleged statements. Instead, her actual comments promote a narrative of professional collaboration rather than personal regret over age differences in dating.
