Seyi recounted how she was initially clueless about the reason behind the abrupt end to her friendship with Tiwa.

“I honestly didn’t know why Tiwa and I stopped talking to each other,” she began.

According to her, it wasn’t until several years later that she discovered the reason, during a chance reunion with her former personal assistant.

The singer, who became emotional during the interview, recalled how the PA reached out to her on Instagram after several years apart.

“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 hadn’t 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’s very detrimental to your career, and I feel like I’m the cause of it.’”

Shocking revelation about Tee Billz

Seyi went on to reveal that her ex-PA confessed to having an affair with Tee Billz — Tiwa Savage’s then-husband — while still working for her.

“To cut the long story short, it turns out the girl was having a relationship with my friend’s husband — and I had no idea,” she explained.
“She told me everything, and I believed her. It must have been true; I don’t think she would say all that as a joke.”

Seyi added that she felt disgusted by the revelation, especially knowing how closely she had worked with the PA at the time.

“When she told me this, I was disgusted because we were always together, doing everything. Meanwhile, Tiwa probably thought I knew about the affair. You can just imagine the anger. It’s so painful. If it were me, I would have done worse.”
