Superstar female Afrobeats sensation, Tiwa Savage has opened up about the constant criticism she faces over her fashion choices, particularly due to her age.
The 44-year-old singer and single mother of one shared her frustrations during a recent appearance on the Receipts podcast, noting the double standards she encounters as a Nigerian celebrity.
She noted that while global stars like Beyoncé, also in her 40s, are celebrated for their beauty and confidence, she often becomes the target of age-shaming for wearing similar outfits.
“They age-shame me every single day. They say, a woman of your age, how can you be wearing a bikini? I can because I have a body,” she said.
“Beyoncé is in her 40s and wears bikinis, but Americans don’t age-shame her. They would be like, for her age, black don’t crack. It’s more celebrated when you look good in your older age,” she added.
The singer also addressed the frequent criticism that her son might view her fashion choices negatively in the future.
She dismissed this concern, saying, “My son is going to be like, my mum is a powerful and beautiful woman.”
