A media personality found herself trading personal insults with a male user after he weaponized a photo of a music icon against her.
On January 8, 2026, the online drama unfolded when Ruth, known on X as @it_Rutie, shared a stunning image of Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage. She admired the singer’s youthful appearance, describing her as a “sweet 16,” but the comment section quickly turned toxic.
The unprovoked attack
An X user handling the account @john322226, who goes by the name Lobistars, quoted Ruth’s post with a scathing remark. The man expressed shock that the 45-year-old singer still looked better than Ruth does in her “prime.” This unprovoked comparison immediately set the tone for a harsh back-and-forth between the two.
Ruth did not let the insult slide and immediately fired back at her detractor. The media personality brought his family into the mix, boldly stating that she is more beautiful and “hotter” than his wife. This retort escalated the situation from a critique of looks to a personal attack on their private lives.
Escalation regarding marriage status
Lobistars responded to the mention of his wife with a brutal counter-attack regarding Ruth’s relationship status. He questioned why his “less attractive” partner is a wife while Ruth remains single despite being in her prime. The exchange drew significant attention from onlookers who watched the conversation deteriorate rapidly.
This incident highlights the intense scrutiny public figures face online, even when discussing third parties. It also comes shortly after Dami Foreign begged Tiwa Savage for forgiveness amid legal threats regarding a separate controversy.
Tiwa Savage continues to dominate headlines not just for her looks but for her bold stances on life. Recently, Tiwa Savage defended dating younger men and sent a powerful message to women about making their own choices.
