The Moment Tiwa Savage Broke Into Tears On Stage While Performing ‘Somebody’s Son’ At Cotonou Concert (Video)

A video showing Tiwa Savage in tears during her performance at the WeLovEya Festival in Cotonou, Benin Republic, has emerged on social media.

The festival, which held on Saturday and Sunday at Amazon Square in Cotonou, featured performances from some of Africa’s biggest music stars, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.

During her set, Savage performed ‘Somebody’s Son’, one of her hit songs released in 2021.

The track, which features American singer Brandy, reflects on her longing for true love and emotional fulfilment.

While performing the song solo, the 45-year-old singer became visibly emotional and broke down in tears, struggling to continue the performance.

In circulating videos from the event, concertgoers could be heard cheering her on as she tried to sing through the moment.

Savage was previously married to Tunji ‘TeeBillz’ Balogun in 2013, and the union produced a son, Jamal, in 2015. The couple, however, divorced in 2018.

In October, she spoke about her struggles with love, admitting that despite her success in the music industry, finding a genuine life partner has remained challenging.

“Maybe I can be a second wife. I think I can go along with the first wife, and she’s going to love me because I am not going to be troublesome,” Savage had said.

Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has disclosed his former bandmate Faze’s stance in the long-standing feud between him and their other ex-bandmate, Blackface.

Recall that Blackface and 2Face have been involved in an on-and-off feud over the years, with the former repeatedly accusing the latter of intellectual property theft, allegations 2Face has consistently denied.

Addressing fans midway through his performance at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi recently, 2Face said Faze has maintained a neutral stance in the dispute between him and Blackface.

He stressed that the rift does not involve Faze in any way.

“You all know that Plantashun Boiz consisted of Blackface, 2Face and Faze. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Blackface is not with us right now.

“However, no matter the beef wey me and Blackface get, nothing concern Faze inside. So, Faze is right here with me and we will represent Plantashun Boiz,” he said.

The rift between Blackface and 2Face began after Plantashun Boiz disbanded in the 2000s.

Following their split, Blackface blamed 2Face for the breakup and accused him of song theft.

The relationship between the duo has remained strained over the years despite several attempts at reconciliation, with peace efforts often short-lived.

Pastor Chris Okafor Opens Up On Divorce, Custody Battle And Allegations, Explain That Claims Only Surfaced After He Remarried

Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Church, Chris Okafor, has addressed his past marriage, the custody of his children, and the ongoing allegations surrounding him.

According to the clergyman, his divorce happened when his children were very young. He said one of his daughters was two years old at the time, while his son, Bobo, was four.

Okafor stated that the situation was so serious that the court granted him full custody of the children, while their mother was given access.

He revealed that since the divorce, he raised the children alone for over a decade. Bobo, he said, is now 17 and will turn 18 in March, while his other child, Chidera, is 15.

Pastor Okafor explained that after the divorce, he made a personal promise to his children that he would not remarry until they were grown. He said he kept that promise for 13 years, describing the period as difficult and filled with challenges, but insisted he stayed true to his word.

Addressing the controversy surrounding his remarriage, the pastor claimed that none of the allegations being circulated today existed throughout those 13 years. He alleged that the accusations only began after he decided to start a new chapter of his life.

He further claimed that his former wife had openly vowed to destroy him and his church, insisting that she was angry about him moving on. According to him, the situation is a coordinated attempt to damage his reputation.

Pastor Okafor firmly denied all allegations involving his daughter, stating clearly that nothing inappropriate ever happened under his care. He maintained that if any such incident had occurred, it would have been raised long ago and handled by law enforcement.

In an emotional moment, the pastor called his children forward and asked them directly if he had ever acted indecently towards them. He said they answered in the negative, insisting that the accusations were false.

He added that the ordeal has taken a heavy toll on him emotionally and mentally, noting that the past years have been extremely painful for him.
