Dami Foreign, otherwise known as X influencer, has tendered a public apology to Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage following a heated online exchange over comments involving her son, Jamil Balogun.
The apology came after Tiwa Savage publicly warned the influencer to desist from mentioning her child in online commentary.
The singer reacted to a post in which Dami Foreign referenced her son, a comment she described as crossing the line.
Responding directly on X on Monday, Savage cautioned that any further mention of her child would move “beyond Twitter.”
Following the backlash, Dami Foreign issued an apology addressed directly to the singer. He said he did not intend harm toward Savage or her son and denied wishing death on either of them.
The influencer added that he had made positive comments about the singer in the past and described his actions as coming from a place of “love,” offering a sincere apology for any offence caused.
He writes, “Dear @TiwaSavage, 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. I want you to know that I don’t mean bad or de@th for you or your son. There are lots of positive tweets I’ve made about you that you’ve probably never seen I promise, It’s all love from this side. I sincerely apologize.”
Meanwhile, the Afrobeats singer had issued a public warning to Dami Foreign, cautioning him against involving her son, Jamil Balogun, in his online commentary.
The warning followed a post by the influencer that referenced the singer’s child. In the post, Dami Foreign wrote: “Omo, why’s Tiwa Savage son frowning?”
The comment prompted an immediate response from the award-winning artiste, who described the reference as crossing the line.
Responding directly on X on Monday, Savage warned the influencer to desist from mentioning her child. “I dare you to post anything about my child again and THIS WILL MOVE BEYOND TWITTER,” she wrote.
The singer accused Dami Foreign of repeatedly targeting her online and said she had previously ignored what she described as sustained attacks. According to Savage, bringing her son into the discourse was unacceptable.
“You see that I never cared about your paid agenda to bring me down and you’ve been doing it for a long time. You talking about my child is crossing the line,” she said in another post.
Savage also referenced past comments allegedly made by the influencer about her, including remarks she described as malicious.
“Dami with my FULL CHEST e no go better for you. You even posted that you wanted me to die young… Back to sender,” she stated..
The influencer has, in the past, made several posts about the singer. On January 3, 2026, he wrote, “Make we forget hype, Tiwa Savage don dey old o.”
Similar comments questioning the singer’s relevance and age were posted in May 2025 and September 2025.
In a separate post, Savage appeared to dismiss what she described as the influencer’s fixation on her. “The obsession with me is loud but your relevance is missing,” she wrote.
The exchange quickly gained traction on X, generating widespread reactions from users, many of whom debated the boundaries of online criticism and the limits of Nigeria’s social media “banter culture.”
