Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage has finally opened up about her longstanding feud with fellow artist Seyi Shay, shedding light on the challenges and tensions that have simmered in the Afrobeats industry for years.
In an exclusive interview with a leading entertainment platform, Tiwa described the feud as “unfortunate” but emphasized the need for mutual respect and professionalism among artistes. She noted that while rivalries can naturally occur in a competitive industry, public perception often magnifies disagreements beyond their original scope.
“Seyi and I have had our differences in the past, as anyone working closely in music might experience. But it’s important for us to focus on our craft and remember the fans who love our music,” Tiwa said.
The Feud in Context
The rift reportedly dates back to collaborative and competitive tensions over music releases and award nominations. Fans have followed the saga closely, often speculating on social media about tensions between the two artistes. Despite the rumors, both Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay have continued to achieve remarkable milestones in their careers.
Music industry analysts suggest that this public acknowledgment could pave the way for reconciliation or collaboration in the near future.
“Tiwa Savage’s statement is a mature step. It reflects an understanding that while feuds make headlines, unity and professionalism ultimately strengthen the Nigerian music industry,” said Chuka Nnaji, a Lagos-based entertainment commentator.
Looking Ahead
Tiwa also encouraged young artistes to learn from her experience, stressing the importance of staying focused, avoiding unnecessary conflicts, and nurturing professional relationships.
“The industry is big enough for all of us. It’s about supporting each other and building a sustainable creative community,” she added.
With this clarification, fans are hopeful for a possible collaboration between the two stars, which could mark a fresh chapter in Nigerian music and set a positive example for emerging artistes.
