Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has once again captured the internet’s attention — this time, not with a chart-topping hit, but with her quirky food choices and cheeky take on past relationships.

 

In a recent interview that has since gone viral, the award-winning singer opened up about her love for traditional Nigerian meals, despite her global fame and international lifestyle. “I love bread and stew,” she shared, adding that she also drinks okra water and enjoys pairing bread with either beans or okra.

 

But it was her next food confession that truly stunned fans.

 

“Nigerians, you guys are going to judge me,” Tiwa said, laughing. “I put sugar on my pounded yam and amala — especially pounded yam.”

 

The unusual food combo sparked a wave of reactions across social media, with fans both amused and bewildered by her taste. “She’s unserious,” one fan joked on X (formerly Twitter). “Sugar on pounded yam should be illegal,” another wrote.

 

Still, others applauded the singer for her honesty and individuality. “That’s Tiwa for you — always authentic,” a supporter posted.

 

As the interview continued, the singer’s playful side shone again when asked to mention a lyric from her new album that her ex should never hear. With a sly smile, Tiwa quipped:

“I don’t have exes. I have ‘why’s’ — like, why did I do this?”

 

The witty one-liner quickly became a trending phrase, with fans praising her self-confidence and humor.

 

Known for blending boldness with grace, Tiwa Savage continues to show that stardom hasn’t taken away her roots — or her sense of humor. As one fan perfectly put it: “Only Tiwa can go from Grammy stage to okra water and make it look cool.”
