Tiwa Savage Is Over the Young Boys—Now She Wants a Grown-Ass Man

There comes a time in every queen’s life when the thrill of dating guys who still think "adulting" is a hashtag loses its charm. For Tiwa Savage, the undisputed Queen of Afrobeats, that time is now. At 48, the Nigerian superstar has officially retired from the "Let me teach you how life works, baby" dating league and is now in the market for a man who knows where he’s going—preferably with a ring and a plan.

In what might be the most relatable celebrity revelation since someone finally admitted that private jets are just Uber with more champagne, Tiwa recently declared that she’s done with young guys whose idea of commitment is remembering to text back before noon. "In the past, I have dated a lot of guys who are way too young to be with me," she confessed, in a tone that suggests she’s been to the rodeo, ridden the bull, and now just wants a nice, stable horse.

The Problem with Young Bloods

Let’s be real—dating younger men is fun… until it isn’t. There’s a certain allure to being with someone who looks at you like you’re Wikipedia with legs ("Wow, you’ve actually experienced Y2K in real time?"). But after a while, the charm wears off when you realize that their five-year plan still involves figuring out which sneakers to buy next.

Tiwa put it bluntly: "Right now, I’m not into young guys anymore. I want a man who is ready to settle down, not a man whose only interest is sêx like most of these young dudes out here." Translation: She’s tired of being someone’s "I’ll call you" and ready to be someone’s "I do."

And can we blame her? At a certain point, "vibes" just don’t cut it anymore. You want a man who knows the difference between Netflix and chill and "Let’s discuss our joint investment portfolio over chilled wine."

The Realization: Age Ain’t Just a Number

There’s a reason why women like Tiwa—gorgeous, successful, and at the top of their game—eventually pivot from "He’s so energetic!" to "Does he have a retirement plan?" It’s not that younger men aren’t great (some are!), but let’s just say emotional maturity doesn’t always come with a six-pack.

As one wise woman once said: "Young boys want to break the bed. Grown men want to buy the bed—and the house it’s in." Tiwa has reached that stage where she’s no longer interested in being someone’s late-night snack when she could be someone’s permanent Michelin-starred meal.

Is Age Catching Up with Tiwa? Or Is She Just Woke?

Now, the question on everyone’s mind: Is Tiwa Savage suddenly in a rush to settle down because Father Time is knocking, or has she simply leveled up in her standards?

The answer? Both—and neither.

At 48, Tiwa isn’t desperate; she’s discriminating. There’s a difference. This isn’t about ticking a biological clock (because let’s be honest, Tiwa looks like she’s aging in reverse). It’s about recognizing that after a certain point, you’d rather have a partner who brings more to the table than just "good in bed."

Besides, why should she waste time on guys who still think "wifing" someone is just a TikTok trend? She’s Tiwa freaking Savage—if she wants a man who’s ready to put a ring on it and build a life, not just a "link-up," that’s her prerogative.

The Takeaway: Tiwa’s Ready—Are You?

So, to all the eligible, emotionally available, "Yes, I have a therapist" men out there: The Queen is officially on the market. But be warned—she’s not looking for another "situationship." She wants the real deal.

And to the young guys still sliding into her DMs with "Hey mama, you up?"—maybe try "Good evening, ma’am. Would you like to discuss our shared values over a glass of wine?"

It might just get you further.

TL;DR: Tiwa Savage is done babysitting. Bring a ring, not just "rizz."
