Tiwa Savage Moved to Tears While Performing Hit Song Somebody’s Son On Stage

The Award-Winning Star’s Raw, Emotional Moment at Benin Festival Connects Deeply with Fans

In a powerful and unguarded moment at the WeLoveYaFestival in Cotonou, Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage was overcome with emotion during a performance of her hit song “Somebody’s Son.”

Videos circulating online show the award-winning singer pausing mid-performance, visibly struggling to hold back tears as she sang the poignant lyrics. After taking a moment to compose herself, she continued, delivering a performance that left the audience deeply moved.

Fans at the venue and watching online shared in the emotion, describing the scene as “raw” and “relatable.” Many connected the powerful reaction to the song’s themes and to Savage’s own well-documented personal journey, a reminder that behind the glamour of the spotlight, artists carry genuine human feelings and struggles.

The tender incident followed a separate, more frustrating moment for the singer earlier in the week, when she voiced concerns over technical sound issues during a performance in Ghana.

Despite any prior hiccups, the festival in Cotonou proved to be a memorable night, also featuring stellar sets from top artists like King Promise and Omah Lay. Yet, it was Tiwa Savage’s vulnerable and authentic connection with her music that truly captured the heart of the evening.
