Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has clarified her longstanding rift with colleague, Seyi Shay, citing the infamous salon confrontation that went viral online.
Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay have had a frosty relationship since 2017, after Seyi reportedly threw shade at Tiwa in her verse during the viral ‘Fvck You ‘ Challenge by Kiss Daniel, a move that escalated into years of subtle rivalry and public drama.
In 2021, a salon altercation between the two singers became one of the most viral celebrity moments of the year, after videos online showed Tiwa confronting Seyi Shay over their strained relationship.
She said, “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.”
Tiwa Savage denied ever attempting to sabotage anyone’s career, insisting that she has always been supportive of women in the industry.
The singer stated that she was shocked when she first heard about the accusations that she had tried to “block bags” for other artistes, including Seyi Shay and Victoria Kimani.

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