Tiwa Savage
Nigerian Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has sparked dating rumours with American R&B icon Usher Raymond after a viral moment during an afterparty in London.
The buzz began when Usher brought Tiwa Savage out as a surprise guest during his Past Present Future tour stop at the O2 Arena on Wednesday night.
The two wowed the crowd with a performance of Savage’s hit song Somebody’s Son, igniting excitement among fans.
The rumours intensified at the afterparty, where the duo participated in the popular “30 seconds challenge.” Usher challenged Tiwa to freestyle, and during her spirited performance, she sang: “He loves me” — a line that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
“I’m a little drunk! But it’s alright. I think I’m drunk enough… Usher, are you drunk enough? Listen, he loves me,” Savage freestyled, smiling and swaying to the beat as fans cheered.
The clip has since gone viral on social media, with many fans speculating that the two artists might be more than just friends or collaborators.
This isn’t the first time the pair has shared the stage. In 2022, Usher brought out Tiwa Savage during his headline performance at the Global Citizen Festival in Accra, Ghana — a moment fans now see as the beginning of a possible connection.
Neither artist has confirmed nor denied the dating rumours, leaving fans to continue guessing as the speculation grows.
