Popular Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage has said that Nigerians criticize her fashion choices due to her age.
Speaking on the ‘Receipts’ podcast’ Tiwa stated that Nigerians age-shame her every day over her outfits.
She said while Beyonce and others who are in their 40s are celebrated and hailed for being beautiful when putting on Bikini, her experience in Nigeria is different.
She said, “They age-shame me every single day. They say, a woman of you age, how can you be wearing a bikini? I can because I have a body.
“Beyoncé is in her 40s and wears bikinis but Americans don’t age shame her. They would be like, for her age, black don’t crack. It’s more celebrated when you look good in your older age.
“But they [Nigerians], always throw these things like, when her son grows up, he’s going to see this. My son is going to be like, my mum is a powerful and beautiful woman.”
