Nigerian songstress, Yemi Alade may have shocked her fans when she said a music collaboration with Tiwa Savage may not happen.
Yemi who just unveiled a new album titled ‘Woman of steel’ made this known in a chat with Ndani TV.
Asked if she would like to have a collaboration with Tiwa, the singer said, “I don’t know how to answer this question.It’s unfortunate that with the troubles that people keep steering in our ways, it probably will never allow us to ever have a collaboration, because you’re not sure the outcome would even be positive or be overrun by negative things and all the fights. When we do music, we do it so people can be happy, so when we do a song together, what are we fueling? What are we encouraging? That’s the most important question”.
TheNewsGuru recalls that during a listening party for her new single, ‘49–99’ in London, England on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, Tiwa Savage gave a shout-out to her fellow African female artistes including Yemi Alade.
The Universal Music artist gave the shout-out after a member of the audience at the listening party asked her who she would like to do a collaboration with among Nigerian female artists.
She said, “Oh man, there’s many many queen, man. Come on, like Yemi Alade just dropped an incredible body of work, huge shout-out to her. Errrm, who doesn’t like Teni The Entertainer? Like, she’s incredible. Simi, Niniola, Waje, Omawumi…”
“We even have Vanessa Mdee from the east, we have Becca whom I have done records with as well. And even the females from the UK, like you have Tomi… There’s so many… Lola Rae…”
