Monday, December 16, 2024 - Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, has lamented about the constant backlash she suffers because of her fashion choices.
Featuring in a recent episode of the ‘Receipts’ podcast, the 44-year-old
single mother shared that she often faces backlash about her fashion choices
due to her age.
Savage expressed frustration that, while other female celebrities in
their 40s, like American singer Beyoncé, are celebrated for their lasting
beauty when dressed scantily, she often faces age-shaming from Nigerians when
she does the same.
She said, “They age-shame me every single day. They say, a woman of you
age, how can you be wearing a bikini? I can because I have a body.
“Beyoncé is in her 40s and wears bikinis but Americans don’t age shame
her. They would be like, for her age, black don’t crack. It’s more celebrated
when you look good in your older age.
“But they [Nigerians], always throw these things like, when her son grows up, he’s going to see this. My son is going to be like, my mum is a powerful and beautiful woman.”
