Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has received a public apology from X (formerly Twitter) influencer Dami Foreign after facing intense backlash over posts mentioning her son, Jamil Balogun.
The apology followed shortly after the award-winning singer warned the influencer to stop involving her child in online discussions. Tiwa described his actions as crossing a clear boundary and said there could be consequences beyond social media if it happened again.
In a post addressed directly to the singer on X, Dami Foreign expressed remorse, insisting that he never meant any harm. He wrote:
“Dear @TiwaSavage, I’m sorry if you got offended by some of the tweets I made about you. You must be very angry and hurt for you to have called me out. I want you to know that I don’t mean bad or de@th for you or your son. There are lots of positive tweets I’ve made about you that you’ve probably never seen. It’s all love from this side. I sincerely apologize.”
The tension online began on Tuesday when Dami Foreign referenced Tiwa Savage’s six-year-old son, Jamil, after a video of the singer dancing at an event went viral.
The post was met with immediate backlash from Tiwa, who responded firmly to protect her family. A look at the influencer’s timeline shows that the tweet about Jamil was not an isolated incident, as he has made several critical remarks about the singer over the past year.
In response to the apology and the history of posts, Tiwa suggested that she had largely ignored ongoing attacks until her child was brought into the situation.
