Nigerian Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage and American R&B icon Usher Raymond have sparked relationship rumours following a viral moment at Usher’s Past Present Future tour stop at London’s O2 Arena.
The speculation began after Usher surprised fans by bringing Savage on stage for a joint performance of her hit single, Somebody’s Son, on Wednesday night. The collaboration, which thrilled the audience, was followed by an even more buzzworthy moment at the tour’s afterparty.
In a now-viral clip, the duo was seen participating in the popular “30 Seconds Challenge,” where Usher prompted Savage to freestyle where Tiwa mentioned that he loves her. This sparked relationship speculations.
“I’m a little drunk! But it’s alright. I think I’m drunk enough, I think I’m drunk enough. Are you drunk enough? Usher, are you drunk enough? Listen, he loves me,” she freestyled amid cheers from the crowd, with her last statement particularly exciting them.
The viral clip elicited heavy reactions, with fans speculating that the duo were an item.
Recall that Usher first brought out Tiwa Savage to perform with him on stage during his headline performance at the Global Citizen Festival in Accra, Ghana, in 2022.
However, the duo has yet to officially confirm whether they are dating or not.
