For years, music fans have waited for the day two of Nigeria’s biggest female singers, Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage, would join forces on a track. Both queens have dominated charts, headlined shows across the world, and pushed Afrobeats beyond borders.But despite their reign, a joint hit between them has remained only a fantasy, until now, when the songstress finally explained why.

In a new chat with Chude Jideonwo, Yemi Alade opened up about the unspoken tension surrounding her and Tiwa Savage’s long-anticipated collaboration. According to her, it’s not personal.

She stated: “I’ve had collaborations with Waje, Seyi Shay, and other African female singers within and outside Nigeria. But Tiwa Savage is a fan favorite, and a collaboration with her can make fans start comparing and creating problems where there is none. I’d rather stay clear — I don’t want problems in my life.”

@etz_ebuka: “I understand her .. is better the collaboration never happen.. rather than after the collaboration fans with start the war of who was the best who killed it the more and who sang the best,who’s lyrics was on point … Yemi and tiwa have no issue but the fans and media might escalate things
