Why I Can’t Have Collaboration With Tiwa Savage – Yemi Alade Opens Up

Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade, has dismissed the idea of a collaboration with colleague, Tiwa Savage, despite fan desire for the two powerhouse artistes to work together.

Abia Radio News reports that the ‘Johnny’ hitmaker, during an interview on ‘Withchude’ podcast on YouTube, said, “she’d rather stay clear” to avoid any potential problems in her life.

While Yemi Alade strongly affirmed her belief in women supporting women and highlighted her history of collaborating with other female artists, she emphasised that collaboration with Tiwa Savage might never happen due to the troubles from their fans and the media.

She said, “But I know that the fan-favourite collaboration is Tiwa Savage you mentioned. I’d rather stay clear; I don’t want problems in my life.

“There is no issue at all. The thing is, most fans and the media tend to stir waters that are supposed to be still. There is literally no problem.”

Recall that Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage engaged in a heated war of words in December 2018.

Trouble started when Alade shaded other female entertainers who, according to her, love to deceive their fans by enlarging their buttocks in photos shared on social media.

Although she did not mention names, her tweet was shared hours after Tiwa had posted some of her curvy photos on Instagram.

In a swift reaction, Tiwa took to Instagram to share a post with the caption, “don’t start a war you can’t finish”.
