I’m Too Pro-Women To Block A Fellow Female’s Bag – Tiwa Savage

Popular singer Tiwa Savage has revisited her long-standing rift with female colleague Seyi Shay. She recently clarified her side of the story regarding their infamous salon confrontation that went viral years ago.

Speaking during an interview on Off Air with Gbemi O and Toolz, Tiwa broke down the misunderstanding between her and Seyi Shay, stating that it stemmed from a diss track and allegations that she had tried to block opportunities for other female artistes.

According to her, she was very shocked when she first heard about the alleged diss and accusations that she had tried to “block bags” for Seyi Shay and Victoria Kimani.

“The Somebody’s Son” crooner maintained that she has never attempted to sabotage anyone’s career, stating that she has always been supportive of women in the industry.

“If you do something to me, I will let you know. I don’t have to let you know online. Like the whole shade thing, I’m not going to pretend like you and I are cool in a salon when you did a diss track.

That was painful, and I didn’t know where it was coming from. Till today, maybe I need to have a conversation with Shay.

I heard that they thought I blocked their bag. How? If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention the person so I can address it.

I would never do that — I’m so pro-women,” she said.

She further recalled how, contrary to the claims, she was the one who lost a major endorsement deal to Seyi Shay years back when she was pregnant with her son, Jamil.

Tiwa concluded by saying that her pregnancy led to Pepsi replacing her with Seyi Shay at the time, but she never took it personally.

“When I got pregnant and had Jamil, I was taken off a Pepsi campaign, Longer Throat, and Shay was booked on it.

Go back and check it, Shay was a brand ambassador, I wasn’t.

I was taken off because I couldn’t snap back in time. So how am I stopping other people’s bag? I wasn’t even mad. I got in the gym and got my body back,” she added.
