The event, part of Tinubu’s official state visit to the United Kingdom, featured several high-profile Nigerian dignitaries.
Photos circulating online showed Tiwa participating in a ceremonial toast alongside other guests.
Following the images, some Nigerians took to social media to criticise her presence, suggesting it implied support for the current administration amid ongoing debates about governance.

Conversely, some users questioned her alignment with political figures.
The singer, who previously opened up about her struggles with motherhood and career setbacks on the FlowWithKorty podcast, has remained active on social media, balancing her public persona with her artistic and personal life.
Tiwa Savage’s appearance at the banquet underscores the intersection of entertainment, culture, and politics, sparking discussions about celebrity engagement in official state events.
