In a new chat with Chude Jideonwo, Yemi Alade opened up about the unspoken tension surrounding her and Tiwa Savage’s long-anticipated collaboration. According to her, it’s not personal.
She stated:
“I’ve had collaborations with Waje, Seyi Shay, and other African female singers within and outside Nigeria. But Tiwa Savage is a fan favorite, and a collaboration with her can make fans start comparing and creating problems where there is none. I’d rather stay clear — I don’t want problems in my life.”

@ogunsakin_majek:
“There’s literally no problems at all”. But you are saying you don’t want problem at all. Thats like antagonizing yourself. If there’s no problems, there wouldn’t be a problem to stir in the first place.
@olalekanmandela:
"Yemi Alade will collaborate with anyone. I mean anyone, if you see her videos, you will know she is open to collaboration always but I don't know. But Yemi Alade looks like someone who is so humble but yet, will not lower her standards for anyone. I remembered when she called a particular radio station out for blacklisting her songs. She is just someome eho want to make mueic and chill. So if she says she doesn't wanna collaborate with someone then, there is more that meets the eye"
