Tiwa Savage addresses sabotage rumours
The Somebody’s Son crooner said she was deeply hurt by claims that she had tried to sabotage Seyi Shay and Victoria Kimani’s careers.
She stated:
“I would never do that — I’m so pro-women. If you do something to me, I’ll let you know. I don’t have to act fake or pretend online.”
Tiwa referenced Seyi Shay’s verse in the 2017 Fvck You Challenge, which reportedly contained subtle shade aimed at her.
The move, she said, made it impossible for her to pretend that things were okay when they met years later in a salon.
She said:
“Like the whole shade thing, I’m not going to pretend like you and I are cool in a salon when you did a diss track."
Tiwa also used the opportunity to set the record straight about the long-standing rumour that she “blocked bags” for her colleagues.
The singer disclosed that she actually lost a major endorsement deal to Seyi Shay while she was pregnant with her son, Jamil.
The singer revealed:
“When I got pregnant and had Jamil, I was taken off a Pepsi campaign, Longer Throat, and Shay was booked on it. I was taken off because I couldn’t snap back in time. So how am I stopping other people’s bags?”
She added that despite losing the deal, she held no grudges and instead focused on bouncing back stronger.
Reflecting on the entire episode, Tiwa said the rumours about her blocking opportunities were painful, particularly because they came from people she once respected.
She added:
“I heard that they thought I blocked their bag. How? If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention the person so I can address it."
