Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has spoken about the long-standing fallout between her and fellow musician Tiwa Savage.

During a recent interview on an OffAir show, posted on X on Friday, Seyi Shay explained that she had no clue why her friendship with Tiwa ended abruptly—until years later, when she reconnected with a former staff member.

She claimed that her ex-personal assistant disclosed having a relationship with Tiwa’s ex-husband, Tee Billz. Seyi Shay said she believed the revelation, as it seemed too serious to be made up.

Visibly emotional during the interview, Seyi Shay admitted she now understands why Tiwa was upset, noting that she would have reacted the same way if she were in Tiwa’s shoes.

“I honestly didn’t know why Tiwa and I stopped talking to each other,” she said. “A young lady I hired as a PA back when Didi was still managing me… after the whole salon experience, I moved to London to have my daughter. I saw this girl at the club, someone I had not seen in about seven years. She hit me up on Instagram, we met for lunch, and she said, ‘I saw what happened and I’m really sorry. It is very detrimental to your career, and I feel like I’m the cause of it.’”

“To cut the long story short, it turns out the girl was having a relationship with my girl’s husband, and I didn’t even know,” Seyi Shay explained. “She told me all of that. It must have been true; I don’t think she would say all of that as a joke.”

“When she told me this, I was disgusted because we were rolling together and doing things together, meanwhile, Tiwa probably thought I knew about it. You can just imagine the anger. It’s so p+inful. If that was me, I would have done worse.”
