Award-winning Nigerian singer and actress Tiwa Savage has spoken openly about her shifting views on relationships, saying she is no longer interested in dating purely for love and now places greater value on financial stability and comfort.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Savage said her outlook on romance has changed over time, adding that emotional connection alone is no longer enough for her in a relationship.
“My type is someone who has money, I am tired of dating for love,” she said.
The singer explained that she now prefers a relationship that allows her to enjoy a softer, more comfortable lifestyle without financial stress or uncertainty. According to her, experiences and lifestyle matters have become just as important as emotional compatibility.
“I want to be spoilt; I want to live a soft life. I want to be able to say, ‘Baby, I want to go to Saint Tropez. I have had a hard week. Can you send a plane?’ and he is just like, ‘Yeah, okay,’” she added.
Her comments have sparked conversations online, with fans and social media users debating the balance between love, money, and lifestyle expectations in modern relationships. While some agreed with her honesty, others felt her remarks reflected the pressures and realities faced by public figures in high-profile lifestyles.
The discussion also highlights a wider cultural shift where financial security is increasingly becoming part of relationship expectations, especially among celebrities and influencers whose lifestyles often involve frequent travel, luxury experiences, and public scrutiny.
Savage, one of Africa’s most influential music stars, has often used interviews to speak candidly about her personal life, relationships, and the challenges of balancing fame with private emotions.
As reactions continue to pour in, her remarks have added fuel to ongoing debates about whether love alone is enough in today’s dating world, or whether financial stability has become an unavoidable factor in modern relationships.
