The persistent criticism that Afrobeats diva Tiwa Savage receives for her style choices is something she has spoken out about.
In an episode of the podcast “Receipts,” the 44-year-old single mother discussed how, as a result of her age, she frequently receives criticism for her clothing choices.

Savage is angry that Nigerians often make fun of her because she is a woman in her forties, even if other women in her position, like American artist Beyoncé, are admired for their enduring beauty when they dress scantily.
Every single day, they insult me because of my age,” she stated. People often wonder how you manage to look so good in a bikini for a woman your age. With a body, I am able to.
Beyoncé doesn’t get any flak from Americans for being in her 40s and wearing swimsuits. Black people don’t break easily, especially for someone her age. Looking nice as you get older is more of a cause for celebration.

But the Nigerians are so persistent in displaying these items, as if to say, her son will see them when he is older. “My mom is a strong and stunning woman,” my son will say.
