The tension between superstar Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay hit a climax yesterday when videos of the singers clashing at a hair salon surfaced on the internet.
The singers have been at each other’s necks in subtlety for a considerable while now but tempers flared and a fight ensued after their paths crossed in a hair salon.
Reactions following the emergence of the video sees Tiwa Savage enjoying a more robust support from fans and observers while Seyi Shay got slated severally. Since 2019, Seyi Shay has thrown a number of subliminal jabs at Tiwa Savage.
However, the tension escalated when Seyi Shay approached Tiwa Savage at the salon to formally greet her. Tiwa would have none of it and insisted that the Yolo Yolo crooner had no business approaching her to say “hi” after dissing her in a cover of Kizz Daniel’s viral hit “Fvck you”.
In the song, Shay sang, “You know I’m not Savage, I pay my bills.”

I still dont fully grasp the situation.
I will keep saying it. Nigerian artistes are really missing it. The likes of Psquare,Mohits,Plantationboiz, Wizkid, Burna and Davido.
I can imagine how lucrative their good terms would be. That is if they can ever be.
