The controversy began when Dami Foreign shared a video of Tiwa Savage and her child on social media, captioning it: “Omo, why’s Tiwa Savage’s son frowning?” The post quickly drew criticism from fans and followers, who deemed it inappropriate to comment on a minor in such a manner.
Tiwa Savage responded directly on X, warning the influencer to refrain from referencing her child in the future. She wrote, “I dare you to post anything about my child again, and this will move beyond Twitter.”
In response, Dami Foreign issued an apology, acknowledging Savage’s right to be upset and expressing regret for the distress his post caused. In a statement, he stressed that his comments were not meant to harm or disrespect the singer or her family.
He wrote: “Dear @TiwaSavage, I’m sorry if you got offended by some of the tweets I made about you. You must be very angry and hurt for you to have called me out. I want you to know that I don’t mean bad or de@th for you or your son. There are lots of positive tweets I’ve made about you that you’ve probably never seen, I promise, it’s all love from this side. I sincerely apologise.”
The incident highlights ongoing tensions around social media commentary on public figures’ families, particularly minors, and the swift backlash influencers can face for seemingly innocuous posts.
