Rival Nigerian music icons share heartfelt tribute and warm hug at industry panel, putting a bitter social media dispute to rest.
In a moment that has captivated the Nigerian music scene, superstar singers Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage have publicly reconciled, ending a seven-year rift that began with a heated online exchange. The emotional reunion took place at ‘The Price of Being Her’ panel in Lagos, organized by Entertainment Week Africa, where Alade offered a heartfelt public tribute to Savage.
The longstanding feud reportedly began in 2017 when Alade made a cryptic social media post criticizing female artists for digitally enhancing their buttocks to “deceive their fans.” The comment was widely perceived as a direct jab at Savage, who had just hours earlier posted photos highlighting her curves. Savage quickly fired back with a warning of her own, telling Alade not to “start a war you can’t finish.”
The conflict finally thawed on Thursday when Alade directly addressed Savage from the stage. “I honestly want you to know that those moments you get rugged and do what you truly want to do, you are standing up for many females. Just continue being you. You are literally walking in strength,” Alade said.
The public tribute visibly moved Savage, who became emotional during the panel. In a viral video from after the event, the two women were captured sharing a warm embrace and singing together, signaling a definitive end to their years of tension and offering fans a long-awaited moment of unity between two of music’s biggest stars.
