Nigerian music diva, Tiwa Savage on Friday released her latest single, ‘Forgiveness’. She also released a preview video for the new track on X. ‘Forgiveness’ is a beautiful ballad that covers themes of healing, atonement, and self-love. It was co-produced by outstanding producers Supa Dups and Digenius, Directed by Thedesgray and Starring Kenderick. It is also a profoundly personal song about Tiwa Savage’s past hardships and her quest to self-acceptance.”What are we even fighting for?” Tiwa enquires, saying, “I don’t want flowers; they die and stink up the place.” Forgiveness,” which comes after her successful soundtrack CD for her debut feature film, “Water & Garri,” which was released in May 2024, displays the 44-year-old award-winning musician’s vocal diversity and emotional depth.

Tiwa also took the music video of FORGIVENESS to a different level. The video is a whole drama that showcases the ups and downs in a relationship. In the opening she is asked a very crucial question about her relationship “Do you feel like your partner understands you?” and she replies, “No,” and this lack of understanding can be seen in their love story, which shows their misunderstanding despite the love they have for each other.

Apart from the beautiful story which the video dramatizes, it also displays captivating visuals, inside of the house where the shot begins, the drive through a Rocky Road, the stop at a local fuel station and the RV bus where Tiwa and her lover stopped to have a lovely time.

I think the team should have expanded on the story and raised the tension and stake in the relationship. We could see a place where one of them is on the verge of walking away and the other has to go the extra mile to save the love they have.

Apart from these Tiwa Savage Forgives makes a must watch music video.

The music diva also has a high sense of fashion and is versatile with her style. I prefer to call her wild and free. With a beautiful physique Tiwa Savage gives a hot flair to whatever she wears, and she actually loves to show off that beautiful body. She would leave you drooling at every picture she drops on her page.

The Flash Mob at Lagos is a beautiful dance choreography displayed by creatives on the busy street of Lagos in Lagos Island. Tiwa Savage on her post on Twitter says I quote “Because l’m from Lagos Island, this one is very special to me” she thanks all the creative who per-took in the choreography and demands to know which city is next.

Tiwa Savage has been a big hit in the Nigerian music industry ever since her days as the queen of Mavin crew. She has sang to the soul of fans with her songs and “Forgiveness” is indeed another wonder art created by her. It embraces a relatable story experienced by many.

It is currently Streaming on all major Platforms and the music video is out on her YouTube channel.

A good weekend playlist needs songs for different moods, whether you’re winding down after a long week or getting ready to head out. This week’s picks include a new collaboration between FOLA and Davido, Duncan Mighty’s link-up with Halver, and fresh releases from Ayo Maff, Zinoleesky, Blaqbonez and Asake. Each track brings something different, from a familiar take on romance to songs built around everyday struggles and lively rhythms.

Love is the subject of “Malaria,” but Ayo Maff and Zinoleesky approach it through an unusual comparison. Released on September 24, 2026, the song likens falling in love to catching an infection, presenting romance as something that can take hold of a person and become difficult to ignore.

The midtempo street-pop production leaves room for both singers to bring their individual styles to the track. Ayo Maff delivers his verses in a deeper tone, while Zinoleesky adds a more melodic touch to the chorus. Their different vocal approaches give the song its character, with the hook providing a memorable centrepiece.

Blaqbonez reunites with Asake on “Ikebe 3000,” released on October 2, 2026. The pair previously collaborated on “Chanel,” and their latest release brings them together again ahead of Blaqbonez’s forthcoming project, NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME.

Punchy percussion and lively melodies drive the track, while the repeated chorus gives it an easy rhythm to follow. Blaqbonez takes a melodic approach to his delivery, and Asake adds his recognisable vocals to the mix. The result is a lively record suited to parties, social gatherings and moments when a playlist needs more energy.

Halver teams up with Duncan Mighty on “Hustler,” released on October 8, 2026. The song focuses on the effort it takes to earn a living, with financial pressure and the sacrifices involved in pursuing personal goals shaping its message.

Its drill-inspired hip-hop foundation sets it apart from the other releases on this list. Traditional African instrumentation adds another layer to the production, while Duncan Mighty’s presence connects the track to the sound associated with the Port Harcourt singer.

2am in Toronto – FOLA ft. Davido

“2am in Toronto” appears as the third track on FOLA’s sophomore album, 9, released on October 9, 2026. The 14-track project gives the song a place within a larger body of work, but the collaboration with Davido is one of its main attractions.

Romance takes centre stage as FOLA delivers the song with his melodic vocals, while Davido adds his own style to the record. The pairing suits the song’s love-focused theme, making it a natural fit for late-night listening or a playlist built around romantic Afrobeats.

The collaboration had already drawn attention before the video was released. Ayra Starr has spoken about being a fan of ZAYN since his One Direction days, making their meeting on the song a notable moment for the singer. Behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot also gave fans an early glimpse of the pair before the full visual arrived.

“Heaven Baby” has also performed well on the UK charts. The song peaked at No. 2 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart after entering the chart in August, giving the collaboration another milestone before the video’s release.

Directed by Earthboi, the “Heaven Baby” video gives the collaboration its first full visual featuring both artists.
