Tiwa Savage Reveals She Returned a Range Rover Gift After Rejecting the Sender
Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage recently opened up about the most extravagant gift she has ever received—a Range Rover—which she surprisingly chose to return.
Speaking during an interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, the singer shared the story behind her decision and revealed more about her personal boundaries and celebrity connections.
According to Tiwa, the luxury car was gifted to her by a man on her birthday.
While the gesture was grand, she declined to keep the vehicle because she had no romantic interest in the man.
She explained that holding onto the gift could have created an awkward situation, especially since she wasn’t reciprocating his feelings.
“I was given a Range Rover as a birthday gift, but I returned it because I wasn’t feeling the guy,” Tiwa revealed.
“I also didn’t want to keep it because I knew he might decide to take it back if I kept ignoring his calls.
It’s always better to avoid those kinds of complications.”
During the same interview, Tiwa also gave fans a glimpse into her impressive network of connections, disclosing that rap superstar Nicki Minaj is the most famous person in her contact list.
Tiwa Savage, often regarded as the Queen of Afrobeats, has made a significant mark in the music industry, blending traditional African sounds with modern pop and R&B.
Her career has earned her numerous accolades and collaborations with international stars.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
