Tiwa Savage marked a special milestone as her son, Jamil, turned 11, celebrating the occasion with a vibrant Arsenal-themed birthday party that reflected the youngster's love for football.

The award-winning Afrobeats singer gave fans a glimpse into the memorable celebration by sharing videos from the event on social media. The football-inspired party brought together Jamil and his friends for a day filled with games, laughter and heartfelt family moments.

One of the standout clips captured the birthday boy posing with his friends as they enthusiastically declared, "Ronaldo is the best," while smiling for a group photograph. Another video showed Tiwa leading family and guests in singing the traditional birthday song as Jamil enjoyed the special moment surrounded by loved ones.

Tiwa Reflects on Motherhood and Faith

Beyond the colourful celebration, the singer shared a deeply personal message dedicated to her son, affectionately known as JamJam. In the emotional tribute, Tiwa reflected on how becoming a mother transformed her understanding of God's unconditional love.

She wrote:

"Guys being mama jam jam has taught me more about God’s love than I ever imagined. The way I worry about him, celebrate him, protect him, forgive him, believe in him … the way I’d give anything (even my own life) for him. It made me stop and think … this sounds so familiar.

"Because if I can love my son this deeply as an imperfect human being, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father love us?"

The singer continued by drawing a parallel between parental love and faith, saying:

"Maybe that’s why God calls us His children. Every hug, every prayer, every sacrifice, every moment of unconditional love I feel for Jamil is just a tiny reflection of the love God has always had for us."

"Happy 11th Birthday to My Greatest Blessing"

Tiwa concluded the touching message with a heartfelt birthday wish, describing Jamil as one of the greatest gifts in her life.

She wrote:

"Happy 11th birthday to my greatest blessing, my answered prayer, my best friend. Watching you grow is one of the greatest privileges of my life.

"I love you more than words will ever be able to say. And even that love is only a glimpse of how much God loves you, JamJam."
