The allegation was made during a conversation where some Wizkid fans debated whether they should continue showing her support.
The drama began when a Wizkid supporter pledged loyalty to Tiwa Savage. However, another fan quickly opposed the gesture, insisting that Tiwa, who just released a new album, had once disrespected their Starboy.
The argument gained momentum until one curious fan asked XAI, Grok, an AI chatbot, whether Tiwa had ever trolled Wizkid. According to the AI's response, there was no evidence to support the claim.
Responding, Tiwa was quick to set the record straight, saying:
“Thank you o, I have never done that. But they have just ran with this narrative and I have just kept quiet,” the singer posted, clearing her name once and for all.
Tiwa, Wizkid's rumoured relationship
Back in 2018, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid had the internet on lockdown after the release of the Fever music video.
The visuals showed undeniable chemistry between the two, with many fans convinced they were in a secret relationship.
Both artists, however, publicly denied dating, insisting they were just close friends and collaborators. But that didn’t stop gossip blogs and fans from spinning theories.
