Tiwa Savage’s Quest for ‘Somebody’s Son’: High Standards or High Hopes?

In a recent podcast appearance on what appears to be a lively chat with host Shannon, Nigerian afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage opened up about her single life with a mix of humor and candor. The 45-year-old singer, known for hits like “Somebody’s Son” featuring Brandy, confessed she’s still searching for the perfect partner – but her checklist is luxurious: a private jet, a yacht, and absolutely no “baby mama drama.”

“I think it’s because I’m asking for specific things,” Tiwa laughed, suggesting she might need to “narrow my search down.” Yet, she playfully resisted lowering her bar too much, tying it back to her song’s theme of manifesting love. The clip, shared on X by @OneJoblessBoy, quickly went viral, amassing over 400,000 views in a day.

However, the internet wasn’t all cheers. Reactions poured in, with many labeling her expectations “delusional” for a single mother in her 40s. Comments ranged from “Keep dreaming, sister” to critiques of double standards in dating. Tiwa’s past – a divorce from TeeBillz and public scandals – fueled the debate, highlighting cultural tensions around women’s ambitions in romance.

Is Tiwa setting the bar high or just speaking her truth? In a world where stars like her influence millions, her words spark vital conversations on self-worth and societal pressures. One thing’s clear: she’s not settling anytime soon.
