The supremacy battle between power house music divas, Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade has gotten messier than expected.
Earlier in the week, Nigerian pop star, Wizkid broke the internet with the release of an official music video for his new song titled ‘Fever’. In the video, he featured Tiwa Savage who came in as a vixen and plays the role of Wizkid’s love interest.

Immediately the video spread like wild-fire and amassed 1m views in less than 24 hours of its release.
Yemi Alade thought it wise to capitalize on the opportunity, using it as a leverage to release the video of her collaboration with sexy singer, Flavour titled ‘Crazy love’.
Just like ‘Fever’, ‘Crazy love’ has a similar theme with Yemi crying out in the visuals over the love she has for Flavour. From lustful stares, romantic dance moves and baring of cleavage, Yemi’s motive was to take the attention of Tiwa and Wizkid.

TheNewsGuru’s investigations revealed that Yemi Alade released ‘Crazy love’ a day after Wizkid release his ‘Fever’ video featuring Tiwa Savage as his love interest.
The cold war between these divas may be getting messier as Yemi recently rated herself equal to Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Davido, Olamide and other A’list music acts ruling the Nigerian music scene.
Yemi’s strategy is obviously to recreate the magic she and Flavour produced in their 2016 collaboration ‘Kom Kom’ which has 6.8 views on YouTube as at the time of this report.
The music business is a game of perception , numbers and relevance. The more eyeballs you are able to garner, the better for your music video. Only time will tell If the supremacy battle between Tiwa and Yemi Alade will linger.
