Wizkid and Tiwa Savage
Nigerian musician and mother of one, Tiwa Savage has finally broken
her silence on allegations that she was secretly dating fellow
musician, Wizkid.
The duo were rumoured to be dating after they were seen together
getting emotional and cozy in several pictures that surfaced online.
Reacting while speaking to Soundcity radio 98.5, Tiwa dismissed the
allegation stating that the relationship between the two wasn’t
romantic in any way and that the two have never had such an interaction.
She added that she ignored all the rumours surrounding the two and that there was no pressure on her:
“I heard all sorts of stories about Wizkid and I, but I chose to ignore them.
“At a point, people said I was dating Humblesmith; later they
mentioned another (artiste?). How long will I continue to debunk these
rumours. I have been in the music industry for quite a while and I have
grown a thick skin, so certain rumours or insinuations don’t get to me
again.”
She also refused to be drawn into commenting on her failed marriage
with Teebillz saying that it was too sensitive a topic to talk about on
Air;
“Marriage is a very sensitive matter that I would not want to
delve into at this time. Whatever I say now might be taken by the other
party in another way. More so, I respect TeeBlliz and our son. I don’t
think it is proper to be discussing this matter on air,”
Tiwa Savage was also disapproving of the comparisons to Beyonce that she gets a lot and said they are different entities.
She said:
“I wish people could stop comparing me to Beyonce. I
respect her because she’s about the best female artiste in the world,
but I don’t think I want to be like her. I would rather like to be
myself. There is no basis for me to be like her or anyone. I don’t know
why people think I am obsessed with her. I want to be on my lane and be
known as Tiwa Savage, not Beyonce.”
