“Nigerian men are not romantic” – Tiwa Savage
Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has stirred up lively debate online following her candid remarks about Nigerian men during her appearance on GRM Daily’s Thoughts in a Culli.
Known for her fearless attitude and hit-making prowess, Savage didn’t mince words when sharing her views.
While giving props to Nigerian men for their sharp style and financial generosity, she pointed out what she sees as a major shortfall—romance.
“Nigerian men have swag, no doubt, and they know how to spend,” she said. “But when it comes to genuine romance, that’s where it falls flat. I’m not just looking for someone to throw money around.”
The Somebody’s Son hitmaker emphasized that while flashy displays might impress, they don’t replace emotional depth or authentic affection—qualities she values more in a relationship.
Her remarks have sparked widespread reactions, with fans and critics weighing in on gender expectations, love, and dating culture in Nigeria.
