- Social media users argued over respect, age, and culture as the video continued to trend
A new video of superstar singer Tiwa Savage reconnecting with her former Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has taken over the Nigerian social media timeline.
However, the reactions to the clip are far from uniform.
The viral clip, captured at a recent event, shows Tiwa, who recently talked about her failed marriage, walking into the venue before locking eyes with Don Jazzy.
Without hesitation, she approached him with a bright smile and went down on her knees to greet him in a traditional Yoruba manner.

Don Jazzy, visibly surprised, quickly urged her to stand up as they both shared a warm hug and exchanged pleasantries.
But while the moment appeared sweet and respectful, Nigerians online were quick to offer very different interpretations.
For many viewers, Tiwa’s action was a beautiful reminder of the Yoruba culture of respect, especially toward someone who played a significant role in her rise to stardom.
However, not everyone saw it that way. A section of viewers questioned why Tiwa, who is older than Don Jazzy, would kneel to greet him.
