Singer Seyi Shay has finally shed light on the long-standing rift between her and Colleague Tiwa Savage, revealing that a shocking confession from a former personal assistant was at the root of their fallout.
Speaking on the OffAir Show, Seyi Shay recalled that she had no idea why her friendship with Tiwa suddenly ended until years later when she reconnected with the ex-staff member.
“I honestly didn’t know why Tiwa and I stopped talking to each other. A young lady I hired as a PA back when Didi was still managing me… after the whole salon experience, I moved to London to have my daughter. I saw this girl at the club, someone I had not seen in about seven years. She hit me up on Instagram, we met for lunch, and she said, ‘I saw what happened and I’m really sorry. It is very detrimental to your career and I feel like I’m the cause of it.’”
According to Seyi, the woman then confessed she had been involved with Tiwa’s husband at the time, without realizing the impact it would have.
“To cut the long story short, it turns out the girl was having a relationship with my girl’s husband and I didn’t even know. She told me all of that. It must have been true; I don’t think she would say all of that as a joke.”
The revelation left Seyi Shay devastated, especially given how close she and Tiwa had once been.
“When she told me this I was disgusted because we were rolling together and doing things together, meanwhile Tiwa probably thought I knew about it. You can just imagine the anger. It’s so p+inful. If that was me, I would have done worse,” she admitted.
The candid interview offers fresh insight into one of Afrobeats’ most talked-about feuds, which peaked during their infamous confrontation at a Lagos salon in 2021.

Seyi leave Tiwa alone. If you have an album out soon, promote it without starting any drama.
ReplyDeleteExactly, just leave Tiwa alone. Desperate much.
DeleteNa war, na wa o??
Deletets reminds me of how nicki minaj was shalaying up and down but in nicki's case at least even me,know 4 of her songs and 1 or 2 Solos were objectively hits, same with the 2 collabos i manage to know. Massive hits yet nicki was surpassed by cardi b and megan stallion and maybe even others as i no dey follow the trend closely.
But I dont know this musician beyond this blog, and like when one thinks of famous seyis, her name no dey there (not a yab, biko).At least i know Tiwa
She didn’t say anything against Tiwa na. You guys carry these celebrities like gods that can not be talked about.
DeleteThe aftermath of fame is not easy,see as it turns this one to ibaka, yarning dust just to be in the news

No dear. You’re getting it all mixed up. Her issue with you was not regarding your PA dating a man she had already divorced and distanced herself from in public many years before. Her issue was the dis album your recorded with that other African wanabee songstress. Ps/ it was an embarrassing display for both parties try not to keep bringing it up.
