Tiwa Savage Addresses Age-Shaming in Fashion Choices.
In a recent episode of the ‘Receipts’ podcast, renowned Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage candidly discussed the criticism she endures regarding her fashion choices, particularly as a 44-year-old mother. Savage articulated her frustration with the double standards that seem to exist in the entertainment industry, highlighting the stark contrast between the reception of her wardrobe and that of other global female icons.
Savage noted that while international stars like Beyoncé are celebrated for their beauty and confidence in dressing freely, she often faces ridicule and age-shaming in her home country of Nigeria. “They age-shame me every single day,” she remarked, addressing the frequent comments about her choice to wear bikinis. In her view, the societal expectations imposed on women in their 40s are not only unrealistic but also restrictive.
The singer pointed out that age should not dictate how a woman expresses her identity and style. “My son is going to be like, my mum is a powerful and beautiful woman,” she affirmed, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and empowerment. Tiwa Savage’s remarks resonate with a broader discourse on gender, age, and societal norms, advocating for a more inclusive perception of beauty and fashion that transcends age boundaries.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
