Popular Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage, has finally addressed and dismissed the long-standing rumors claiming she once shaded her close colleague, Wizkid. For years, fans and social media users have repeatedly speculated about tension between the two music stars, particularly after their rumored fallout, even though neither Savage nor Wizkid ever publicly confirmed any rift.
The matter recently resurfaced when a loyal Wizkid supporter assured Tiwa Savage that she still had the full backing of Starboy FC, Wizkid’s strong fanbase. However, another user quickly countered this claim, accusing Savage of trolling Wizkid in the past. The comment read: “Which Fc? Abeg move on madam. U Were been follow troll wizzy dah year. Now they have left u behind.” This remark reignited the long-debated topic about the alleged shade.
In an interesting twist, another fan turned to AI chatbot Grok, asking if Tiwa Savage had ever trolled Wizkid at any point. Grok’s response confirmed that there was no proof or evidence to back up such allegations. Relieved by the clarification, Tiwa Savage finally broke her silence on the matter. She wrote: “Thank you o, have never done that. But they have just ran with this narrative and I have just kept quiet.” Her statement has now put an end to the years of speculation surrounding her and Wizkid’s relationship online.
It is worth recalling that Tiwa Savage and Wizkid dominated social media conversations in 2018 after the release of Wizkid’s hit single “Fever.” The music video, which featured Tiwa as the main vixen, sparked widespread reactions due to their undeniable chemistry on screen. The closeness between the two further fueled rumors of a romantic affair, with many fans convinced that they were secretly dating. However, both Savage and Wizkid later clarified in separate interviews that they were never romantically involved, maintaining that their connection was purely professional and built on mutual respect and friendship.
By addressing this issue publicly for the first time, Tiwa Savage has now drawn a line under the long-standing rumors. Many of her fans have applauded her for setting the record straight and refusing to let false narratives continue to define her relationship with Wizkid. The clarification has also brought relief to those who admired the duo’s collaborations and chemistry, as they now have clarity about what truly happened behind the scenes.
