Story Highlights
Content creator Dami Foreign issued a public apology to Tiwa Savage on January 8, 2026, claiming his threats were mere jokes. However, fans have dismissed his statement as gaslighting, urging the singer to proceed with legal action over the disturbing comments directed at her son.
The tension between Tiwa Savage and Dami Foreign has taken a dramatic turn following a direct confrontation on social media. After the Afrobeats superstar publicly vowed to arrest the content creator for his malicious posts, Dami Foreign has quickly changed his tune. He released a statement attempting to de-escalate the situation, claiming his comments were never intended to cause harm to the singer or her family.
This development comes just days after Tiwa Savage vowed to take action against Dami Foreign for targeting her son in a series of disturbing posts. The singer had expressed deep hurt and anger, signaling that she would no longer tolerate online bullying masked as content creation. Dami Foreign, who previously appeared unbothered, now seems to realize the gravity of his actions as the threat of real-world consequences looms large.
A desperate plea for pardon
On January 8, 2026, Dami Foreign took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the singer directly. In his post, he acknowledged Tiwa Savage’s anger but framed his apology around her reaction rather than his own behavior. He stated that he never wished death or bad luck upon her or her son, Jamil, insisting that he has also posted positive things about her in the past.
Observers noted the shift in his demeanor compared to his earlier boldness. He wrote, “I’m sorry if you got offended by some of the tweets I made about you. You must be very angry and hurt for you to have called me out.” He ended the note by declaring “it’s all love from this side,” attempting to portray the entire saga as a misunderstanding. This incident adds to a turbulent week for the star, which began when Tiwa Savage’s Cotonou tears sparked a viral ageism row across social media platforms.
Fans reject ‘gaslighting’ apology
The public reaction to Dami Foreign’s statement has been overwhelmingly negative. Social media users immediately pointed out the conditional nature of his words, specifically the phrase “if you got offended.” Critics argue this shifts the blame to the victim rather than accepting responsibility for the insult.
Comment sections filled up with fans urging Tiwa Savage to ignore the plea and proceed with legal steps. Many described the apology as “gaslighting” and a “non-apology.” Some users even mocked the content creator, suggesting he is only apologizing because he fears a visit from the DSS or a stint in Kirikiri prison. The consensus remains that online trolls must face consequences to deter others from targeting public figures and their children.
