Shortly after the images surfaced, conversations began online, with some Nigerians questioning the singer’s presence at the event.
Critics argued that her appearance could be interpreted as support for the current administration, especially given ongoing debates about governance in the country.
Amid the backlash, Tiwa Savage appeared to respond in her own way.
Taking to her Instagram page, the singer shared a photo of a newly acquired luxury item—an 83-carat diamond necklace.
The post, which focused entirely on the sparkling jewellery, did not directly address the criticism surrounding her banquet appearance.
