Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian musician, has reopened her long-running feud with fellow artist Seyi Shay, explaining her side of the story about the infamous salon incident that went viral years ago.

During an interview on Off Air with Gbemi O and Toolz, which aired on Saturday, the Somebody’s Son crooner stated that the disagreement between her and Seyi Shay started from a diss track and charges that she attempted to restrict opportunities for other female artists.

Tiwa, on the other hand, denies ever attempting to harm anyone’s career, claiming that she has always been supportive of female industry figures.

“If you do something to me, I will let you know. I don’t have to let you know online. Like the whole shade thing, I’m not going to pretend like you and I are cool in a salon when you did a diss track,” she said.

The singer added that she was shocked when she first heard about the alleged diss and accusations that she had tried to “block bags” for other artistes, including Seyi Shay and Victoria Kimani.

“That was painful, and I didn’t know where it was coming from. Till today, maybe I need to have a conversation with Shay.

“I heard that they thought I blocked their bag. How? If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention the person so I can address it.

“I would never do that — I’m so pro-women,” Tiwa said.

She further recalled how, contrary to the claims, she had lost a major endorsement deal to Seyi Shay years back when she was pregnant with her son, Jamil.

“When I got pregnant and had Jamil, I was taken off a Pepsi campaign, Longer Throat, and Shay was booked on it.

“Go back and check it, Shay was a brand ambassador, I wasn’t.

“I was taken off because I couldn’t snap back in time. So how am I stopping other people’s bag? I wasn’t even mad. I got in the gym and got my body back,” she added.

The salon altercation between both singers, which took place in 2021, became one of the most viral celebrity moments that year, after videos circulated showing Tiwa confronting Seyi Shay over their strained relationship.

While Seyi Shay had previously said she had tried to make peace, Tiwa’s recent remarks suggest the tension between both artistes may have stemmed from deeper industry misunderstandings and hearsay.
