“I Yelled, He Came Closer” — Tiwa Savage Shares Emotional Parenting Moment With Son
Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has tugged at the hearts of fans with a deeply personal and emotional story about her son, Jamil Balogun, revealing the vulnerable side of parenting that many often hide.
In a heartfelt video shared online, Tiwa recounted how she had to sternly discipline her 10-year-old son over an incident that upset her. But what happened afterward left her speechless.
“I really went off on him… I thought he’d be angry. But I woke up and saw that he had quietly come to sleep next to me. My baby. He still came close, seeking comfort.”
💬 Discipline Wrapped in Love
Tiwa's confession isn’t just a sweet anecdote — it's a universal parenting truth. Being a parent often means correcting with firmness but loving unconditionally. Her son’s action — crawling beside her in sleep — reflects pure trust and unbreakable bond, even in the face of discipline.
She added:
“Being a mother is tough. But it’s also the best feeling in the world.”
✍🏽 Opinion: Strength Is in the Softness Too
In a world that often glorifies “tough love,” Tiwa reminds us that discipline doesn’t erase love. In fact, it’s in those moments of correction that a child can learn the most about security, forgiveness, and emotional connection.
Jamil’s quiet gesture is a powerful example of what many children truly seek — not just freedom, but presence, consistency, and comfort, even when they've fallen short.

Social media users were quick to praise Tiwa for being open about the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood:
“This is the kind of motherhood we should talk more about — the real parts.”
“Jamil is so pure. The way kids love without conditions is unmatched.”
“Tiwa is not just a queen on stage — she’s a queen at home too.”
