Popular Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has responded to an online critic who claimed that her appearance in real life does not match the way she looks in her photos.
The Afrobeat star, who recently posted a series of stunning images on Instagram, didn’t hold back when addressing the negative comment.
Criticism over Instagram photos
Tiwa Savage, known for her powerful voice and bold fashion choices, shared new photos on Instagram earlier this week. The images quickly gained attention from her millions of followers, with many fans flooding the comments section with compliments.
However, amid the praise, one Instagram user with the handle ‘nutefobayo’ made a harsh comment about her appearance. He suggested that the singer looked good only in pictures but not in real life.
“Pictures dey make some people fine,” he wrote. “Tiwa is not this beautiful in real life.”
His comment appeared to question the authenticity of the singer’s looks, hinting that her beauty might be a result of filters or makeup rather than her actual appearance.
Tiwa Savage’s confident reply
The award-winning artist did not ignore the comment. Instead, she replied with confidence and a touch of humour.
“You wish,” Tiwa Savage wrote. “I am even better in real life. Just say you wish to meet me in person, but shame go catch you, you no go fit talk.”
Her response quickly went viral, with many fans praising her for standing up for herself. The statement also earned her admiration for handling the situation with grace while still defending her image.

Following her response, Tiwa’s fans rallied behind her in the comments section. Many praised her confidence and urged her to ignore negative remarks. Some even took the opportunity to share their encounters with the singer, insisting that she is indeed beautiful both on and off the screen.
“She’s more stunning in person,” one user claimed. “I saw her at an event last year. Some people just hate seeing others shine.”
Another fan wrote, “Haters always have something to say. Tiwa, you’re a queen, keep winning!”
Celebrities and online criticism

Her recent performances and music releases have shown that she’s not slowing down anytime soon. As she continues to build her legacy, Tiwa is also inspiring younger female artists to stand strong, be confident, and never let critics dim their shine.
