Nigerian Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage has denied allegations of trolling her fellow musician, Wizkid, a Grammy award winner. The speculation arose from a perceived fallout between the two artists several years ago. A fan of Wizkid had offered support to Tiwa Savage, but another fan countered, suggesting that Savage had previously trolled Wizkid and therefore did not deserve their support.
In response to a query about the alleged trolling, a bot replied that there was no evidence to suggest that Tiwa Savage had trolled Wizkid. Following this, Tiwa Savage took to social media to express her gratitude, stating that she had never trolled Wizkid and had chosen to remain silent despite the narrative being spread about her.
The speculation surrounding the relationship between Tiwa Savage and Wizkid dates back to 2018, when they appeared together in the music video for Wizkid’s song “Fever.” The chemistry between them sparked rumors of a romantic relationship, which both artists subsequently denied. Despite this, the rumor has persisted, with some fans continuing to believe that there was a personal connection between the two musicians.
Tiwa Savage’s denial of the trolling allegations is significant, as it highlights the ongoing speculation and rumors that surround the personal and professional relationships between high-profile musicians. The incident also underscores the importance of verifying information before accepting it as true, particularly in the age of social media where rumors can spread quickly.
The music industry in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, has experienced significant growth in recent years, with Afrobeats gaining popularity globally. Artists like Tiwa Savage and Wizkid have been at the forefront of this movement, using their platforms to promote African music and culture. As the genre continues to evolve, it is likely that fans and followers will remain interested in the personal and professional lives of these artists, making it essential for them to address speculation and rumors in a timely and transparent manner.
