Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage experienced an emotional moment on stage while performing her hit song “Somebody’s Son” at the WeLoveYa Festival in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

A video from the event, now circulating widely on social media, shows the award-winning singer visibly moved as she struggled to hold back tears during the performance. At one point, she briefly paused to compose herself before continuing, drawing an empathetic response from the audience.

The heartfelt moment resonated deeply with fans both at the venue and online, many of whom described it as raw and relatable. Observers noted that the emotion reflected the song’s poignant lyrics as well as Tiwa Savage’s widely known personal journey.

Earlier in the evening, the singer was reportedly involved in a tense exchange with event organisers over a scheduling issue, during which she was said to have considered leaving the venue. Despite the initial setback, her performance ultimately became one of the night’s most memorable highlights.

The incident served as a reminder that behind the glamour and fame, artistes often carry real emotions and personal struggles. The WeLoveYa Festival also featured performances from other top acts, including King Promise and Omah Lay, making the event a memorable night for attendees despite the earlier challenges.
