“African Bad Girl” Tiwa Savage has ruffled the feathers of South Africans after weighing in on the ongoing controversy between South African singer Tyla and Americans, over her identification as ‘coloured.’
felt for her, and I know that she’s young, and I don’t think she means to come off like that. But where I’m from, they say the younger would say, ‘on behalf of so and so, we apologise.’ If that wasn’t communicated, on her behalf, I apologise, forgive us..I don’t think it came from a bad place.
Reactions to Tiwa’s Apology
And this is the type of bootlicking African they wanted Tyla to be. Tiwa Savage had no business apologising on behalf of Tyla to who I don’t know for what. Because Tyla said absolutely nothing wrong. You can always count on a Nigerian to embarrass the African continent.@notyoursommia
I’m Black American(African American) & I wasn’t offended when Tyla identified herself as coloured because I understand that it’s a culture in South Africa. Tyla shouldn’t apologise & the world doesn’t revolve around America. Tiwa Savage looks stupid for being a damn pick me.@ablerworld
Forget Tiwa Savage for a second, but like why does the interviewer think it’s wise to bring up Tyla, A South African on an interview with a Nigerian. Those two counties are not even remotely close to each other.@david
