Nigerian afrobeats sensation Tiwa Savage and American R&B icon Usher Raymond have set social media ablaze with fresh dating rumours after a flirtatious moment during Usher’s ongoing ‘Past Present Future’ tour in London.
The duo, who previously shared the stage in 2022 at the Global Citizen Festival in Accra, Ghana, reunited in spectacular fashion at the O2 Arena on Wednesday night, May 7, 2025. Usher stunned fans when he brought Tiwa out as a surprise guest, joining her in an energetic performance of her hit track ‘Somebody’s Son.’
However, it was what happened after the show that has tongues wagging.
At the official afterparty, the pair were filmed participating in the popular 30 Seconds Challenge. In the now-viral video, Usher dared Tiwa to freestyle, and her off-the-cuff lyrics had the crowd in a frenzy, particularly when she boldly declared her feelings in the most playful way possible.
“I’m a little drunk! But it’s alright. I think I’m drunk enough, I think I’m drunk enough. Are you drunk enough? Usher, are you drunk enough? Listen, he loves me,” she freestyled amid raucous cheers.
The moment immediately sparked dating speculation, with fans and blogs dissecting the video and pointing to their undeniable chemistry.
Though neither party has officially commented on the nature of their relationship, this isn’t the first time the stars have shared a spotlight. Their previous collaboration in Ghana was hailed as a dynamic cultural crossover, and now fans are hoping the pair’s personal connection is just as harmonious as their on-stage chemistry.
As the clip continues to trend, fans are left wondering, is there more than music between Tiwa Savage and Usher?
