Nigerian music icon Tiwa Savage has become the subject of social media chatter, not just for her energetic dance moves, but for the hilarious reaction of her 10-year-old son, Jamil Balogun, during a recent outing.
The “Backside” Dance
In a video making the rounds online, the 45-year-old singer was seen being the life of the party, dancing enthusiastically to the delight of the crowd. As the music intensified, Tiwa leaned into the performance, executing spirited waist and backside movements while fans cheered and hyped her up.
