Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has revealed her lighthearted yet unsuccessful attempt to make a romantic connection with actor, Kendrick Sampson during the filming of her Forgiveness music video.
Speaking on The Receipts Podcast, Tiwa candidly shared her experience on set with the Insecure star and the playful signs she tried to send his way.
Tiwa admitted she was initially unaware of Sampson’s fame, having never watched the popular HBO series Insecure.
However, she quickly grew fond of his charming personality and striking features after learning more about him.
“When he came on set, my makeup and hair stylist was like, ‘That’s the guy from Insecure,’ and I was like, ‘Okay?’ And he was just lovely. Like, really, really sweet,” Tiwa recounted.
After watching Insecure following the video shoot, Tiwa found herself even more intrigued and decided to reach out to Kendrick while she was still in Los Angeles.
Despite her subtle efforts to express interest, Tiwa humorously admitted that her attempts didn’t land.
“I tried to paint and throw signs—but nothing. A little bit of me died,” she joked. “I want to unfollow him [laughs]. I’m angry [laughs].”
Tiwa concluded by praising Kendrick as “lovely” and “so cute,” despite her playful frustration over the unreciprocated signals.
