In a second that captivated the Nigerian music scene, longtime rivals Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade have publicly ended their seven-year feud, culminating in a heartfelt on-stage apology and an emotional embrace.
The rift between the 2 main girls of Afrobeats started in 2017 following a veiled social media trade.
It began when Yemi Alade posted a cryptic criticism of feminine artists who digitally enhanced their buttocks to “deceive their followers,” a remark broadly perceived as a jab at Tiwa Savage, who had simply shared pictures showcasing her curves.
Savage swiftly fired again with a warning, telling Alade to not “begin a conflict you may’t end,” cementing a public fallout that will final for years.
The long-awaited reconciliation came about on Thursday in Lagos at ‘The Value of Being Her’ panel, organised by Leisure Week Africa. In a viral second, Yemi Alade straight addressed Tiwa Savage from the stage.
“I actually need you to know that these moments you get rugged and do what you actually wish to do, you might be standing up for a lot of females,” Alade said. “Simply proceed being you. You might be actually strolling in energy.”
The general public tribute visibly moved Tiwa Savage, who turned emotional in the course of the panel.
The reconciliation was sealed after the occasion, the place the 2 had been captured in a joyful video singing collectively and sharing a heat, celebratory hug, signalling a definitive finish to their years of discord.
