The warning came after Dami Foreign made a post on Tuesday, referencing the singer’s son. In the post, the influencer wrote: “Omo, Why’s tiwa savage son frowning?”

The post triggered a swift reaction from the award-winning singer, who responded directly on the platform, cautioning the influencer against further references to her child.

“I dare you to post anything about my child again and THIS WILL MOVE BEYOND TWITTER,” Savage wrote in a post on X on Monday.

The post about her son followed a pattern of repeated remarks by the influencer about the singer over an extended period.

On January 3, 2026, Dami Foreign had posted, “Make we forget hype, tiwa savage don Dey old o.”

Earlier, on September 23, 2025, he wrote, “It’s sad how Tiwa Savage fell off after Wizkid cut her off.”

In another post dated May 19, 2025, the influencer said, “Tiwa savage no know sey she don old?”

Reacting further, Savage accused the influencer of sustained attacks and alleged that he had previously made harmful remarks about her.

“You see that I never cared about your paid agenda to bring me down and you’ve been doing it for a long time. You talking about my child is crossing the line,” she wrote in another post on Monday.

The singer added, “Dami with my FULL CHEST e no go better for you. You even posted that you wanted me to die young…. Back to sender.”

In a separate post, Savage appeared to dismiss the influencer’s continued focus on her, stating,”The obsession with me is loud but your relevance is missing.”

The exchange quickly gained traction on X, sparking widespread reactions from users, many of whom weighed in on the limits of online criticism and what is often referred to as Nigeria’s social media “banter culture.”

While public figures are frequently subjected to criticism and satire online, the incident has reignited conversations around cyberbullying, harassment and the involvement of minors in online attacks.
