Seyi Shay, the popular Nigerian singer, has revealed that she is open to reconciling with fellow artiste Tiwa Savage after years of tension between them.

She made this known in an interview with Saturday Punch, while responding to questions about their fallout and Tiwa’s recent remarks on the issue.

The songstress explained that her involvement in a Pepsi campaign years ago, which many believed caused a rift between them, was a brand decision and not a personal act.

She said she has never rejoiced over another woman’s challenges and has always respected Tiwa’s career and achievements in the music industry.

The Right Now crooner revealed that their past misunderstanding and diss track happened during a time when both artists were under pressure in a competitive industry.

She said that with time and maturity, she now sees that better communication could have prevented the clash.

According to her, she would have chosen dialogue over confrontation if given another chance.

The singer added that she is willing to have a private or public conversation with Tiwa to clear the air, saying that life is too short to hold onto tension.

She also said that reconciling could set a positive example for other women in music.

She said, “That period was purely a brand decision, not a personal one. I have never had any reason to celebrate another woman’s challenge or misfortune. I respect Tiwa’s journey deeply. She’s an incredible artist and a trailblazer. There’s no bad blood on my end; only respect and acknowledgement of her contribution to the industry.”

“Yes, I would. Life is too short for lingering tension. If having that conversation helps heal narratives and sets a better example for women in music, I’m open to it, whether privately or publicly. We’ve both come a long way, and I think there’s strength in showing that women can rise above old narratives.”

The dispute between the two stars dates back to 2021 when a video of their argument at a Lagos salon went viral.
