Afrobeats sensation Tiwa Savage recently shared a heartwarming yet poignant parenting moment with her son, Jamil Balogun, revealing how their bond prevailed even after a heated scolding.
The acclaimed musician recounted losing her temper with her 10-year-old over misbehavior, expecting his anger to create distance between them.
To her astonishment, she later discovered Jamil curled up beside her in bed, his silent embrace shattering her defenses.
In an emotional reflection, Tiwa confessed motherhood’s toughest paradox: the need to discipline while aching with love.
“There’s nothing more painful than punishing the person you’d die for,” she admitted. “I’m notorious for being firm—friends joke I run a military household. But last night… I snapped.”
“Then this little human reminds me what unconditional love looks like. After my outburst, he sought me out while I slept on the couch, tucking himself against me like nothing happened. That wrecked me. Parenting is this impossible mix of heartbreak and magic,” the star revealed in her candid social media post.
