Nigerian singer Waje has addressed long-standing rumors about her relationship with rapper M.I. In a recent interview on The Honest Bunch podcast, the 45-year-old vocalist clarified that the two artists never dated, despite speculation sparked by their collaborative work on romantic songs in the 2010s.

The rumors likely originated from the duo’s joint song, “One Naira,” which featured a romantic theme and led many to believe that the two were in a relationship. However, Waje explained that the song’s narrative was simply a creative expression, and not based on real-life events. She revealed that M.I’s then-girlfriend even provided the voice-over for the track, further dispelling any notions of a romantic involvement.

Waje’s collaboration with M.I was part of a series of joint projects between the two artists, which showcased their musical chemistry and storytelling ability. The singer emphasized that their professional relationship was built on a foundation of friendship and mutual respect, rather than romance.

In the same interview, Waje also discussed her current personal life, stating that she is currently single. When asked about her approach to relationships, she emphasized the importance of stability and success, noting that she is no longer in her 20s and does not have the time to invest in an unfulfilling partnership.

Waje’s comments provide insight into the Nigerian music industry, where collaborations between artists can often spark rumors and speculation. The singer’s clarification on her relationship with M.I serves as a reminder that artistic expressions should not be misconstrued as reflections of real-life events. As Waje continues to navigate her career and personal life, her comments highlight the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing stability in relationships.
