Afrobeats queen, Tiwa Savage, has stirred social media conversations after confessing her ideal man type in a viral video. The award-winning singer, popularly known as “African Bad Gyal,” revealed that her dream partner would be someone like Nigerian-British rapper Skepta.
The ‘Somebody’s Son’ hitmaker humorously lamented her love life, saying, “I want a guy like Skepta, but I keep getting funny-looking men.” Her candid confession has sparked excitement among fans, with many urging Skepta to respond.
Since her highly publicised divorce from ex-husband and former manager Tunji Balogun, popularly called Teebillz, Tiwa Savage has kept her romantic life away from the spotlight. Despite being linked to a few industry figures over the years, she has not confirmed any serious relationship.
Skepta, on the other hand, is believed to be single following the end of his rumoured romance with British supermodel Naomi Campbell. The 42-year-old rapper has also kept his dating life private, further fueling speculation about whether Tiwa’s statement might spark a connection between the two stars.
In a previous interview in May, Tiwa Savage criticised Nigerian men, describing them as generous but not romantic. According to her, love goes beyond financial generosity, as she is looking for a man who can provide emotional connection and thoughtful gestures.
Her latest statement about Skepta seems to reinforce her desire for a man who embodies confidence, style, and charisma—qualities often associated with the UK-based rapper.
Following Tiwa’s confession, social media went into a frenzy, with many fans tagging Skepta to “shoot his shot.” Some even speculated that a potential relationship between the two would make them Afrobeats and Grime’s ultimate power couple.
Interestingly, Skepta responded subtly on his Instagram story with a cryptic message, “A queen deserves the best. Love always finds its way.” Though he didn’t mention Tiwa directly, fans believe it was a playful nod to her statement.
Tiwa Savage, who recently wrapped up her European tour, is reportedly working on new music collaborations with top international artists. Fans are now curious to see whether this light-hearted confession will spark a friendship—or even romance—between her and Skepta.
