Popular Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay has revealed the reason behind her long-standing feud with fellow artiste Tiwa Savage.
The Yolo crooner said their friendship ended because of an affair between her former personal assistant and Tiwa’s ex-husband, TeeBillz.
Seyi made the revelation while speaking on the OffAir Show, explaining that she had been unaware of the cause of their rift for years until she reconnected with the former staff member.
She said the woman approached her years later to apologise, admitting that she once had a romantic relationship with Tiwa Savage’s husband while she was still working with Seyi.
According to Seyi, she had no idea about the affair at the time and was shocked to learn that it may have been the reason Tiwa ended their friendship.
She said the discovery was painful because they had shared a close bond and worked together often, not knowing that Tiwa probably believed she was aware of what was going on.
She said, “I honestly didn’t know why Tiwa and I stopped talking to each other. A young lady I hired as a PA back when Didi was still managing me… after the whole salon experience, I moved to London to have my daughter.
“I saw this girl at the club, someone I had not seen in about seven years. She hit me up on Instagram, we met for lunch, and she said, ‘I saw what happened and I’m really sorry. It is very detrimental to your career, and I feel like I’m the cause of it.
“To cut a long story short, it turns out the girl was having a relationship with my girl’s husband, and I didn’t even know. She told me all of that. It must have been true; I don’t think she would say all of that as a joke.
“When she told me this, I was disgusted because we were rolling together and doing things together, meanwhile, Tiwa probably thought I knew about it. You can just imagine the anger. It’s so painful. If that was me, I would have done worse.”
