Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has finally broken her silence on the long-standing feud with fellow artist Seyi Shay, revealing that she was taken aback by the accusations that she tried to block opportunities for other female artists.
The Feud’s Origin Story
According to Tiwa Savage, the misunderstanding began after a diss track was released, accompanied by claims that she had allegedly tried to sabotage other artists’ careers. Tiwa denied these allegations, stating she has always been supportive of women in the industry.
