Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage recently shared her thoughts on the criticism she faces regarding her fashion choices.
In a recent podcast appearance, Savage expressed frustration about the constant backlash she receives due to her age.
The 44-year-old singer noted that she often face criticism for her clothing choices, with some individuals suggesting that she should dress more modestly due to her age.
In contrast, Tiwa Savage pointed out that other female celebrities in their 40s, such as Beyoncé, are often celebrated for their beauty and fashion sense, regardless of their age.
She emphasized that she believes age should not dictate one’s fashion choices, urging individuals to be free to express themselves through their clothing, regardless of their age.
Tiwa Savage also expressed her confidence in her own beauty and fashion sense, stating that she is proud to be a powerful and beautiful woman.
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.”
