Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage and R&B icon Usher Raymond have sent the internet buzzing with dating rumours after a playful exchange in London went viral.
The two music stars were spotted together during and after Usher’s recent show at the O2 Arena in London. The moment that sparked the frenzy? A light-hearted challenge that ended with Tiwa saying, “He loves me,” in front of a cheering crowd.
Fans have since flooded social media with questions: Are they more than just friends? Is there a romance brewing between the Nigerian singer and the American superstar?
A surprise performance at the O2 Arena
The night began with music, lights, and a packed crowd at the O2 Arena as Usher continued his Past Present Future tour on Wednesday night.
During his set, Usher surprised the audience by bringing out Tiwa Savage as a special guest. The crowd erupted in applause and cheers when the pair performed Somebody’s Son, one of Tiwa’s biggest hits. The chemistry between the two on stage was undeniable. Their performance was smooth, playful, and full of energy.
This wasn’t the first time the pair had shared a stage. Back in 2022, Usher brought Tiwa out to perform during his headline set at the Global Citizen Festival in Accra, Ghana. That appearance also drew praise, but this latest interaction has stirred deeper interest.
Viral freestyle fuels speculation
After the concert, the two were seen together again, this time at an afterparty. It was here that the now-viral moment occurred.
In a popular game known as the “30 Seconds Challenge,” Usher dared Tiwa to freestyle for 30 seconds. She accepted the challenge with confidence and delivered an improvised performance that immediately caught everyone’s attention.
“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,” Tiwa said as the crowd roared with excitement.
The moment was caught on video and quickly spread across social media platforms. Fans took the freestyle seriously, interpreting the “he loves me” line as a hint that something more might be going on between the stars.
Fans react with curiosity and excitement
Within hours, the video had gone viral. Fans filled Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok with clips and comments. Many speculated that Tiwa and Usher were in a romantic relationship. Others brushed it off as a joke or part of the performance.
“She said what she said! Tiwa and Usher? We’re ready for that power couple,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another joked, “She didn’t stutter. That man is in love.”
Still, some viewers remained sceptical. “They were probably just having fun. Artists say wild things on stage,” a commenter noted.
Regardless of what people believe, the clip has kept both artists at the centre of online conversations.
A history of musical chemistry
Though the dating rumours remain unconfirmed, it’s clear that Tiwa and Usher have developed a strong musical connection over the years.
Their first known collaboration came in 2022 at the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana, where their on-stage energy drew applause. Since then, fans have watched their friendship grow, both online and in public appearances.
Whether it’s business or something more, their recent interactions have added fuel to the speculation. So far, neither Tiwa Savage nor Usher has addressed the dating rumors publicly.
No official statement yet
Despite the excitement from fans and the growing media coverage, both artists have stayed silent on whether they’re dating. No official statements have been made by either camp.
Until then, fans can only guess. But with both stars continuing to share stages and make headlines together, it’s safe to say this won’t be the last time we see them linked.
Whether it’s love, music, or simply good friendship, Tiwa Savage and Usher have created a moment that the internet, and their fans won’t soon forget.
