Music artist Seyi Shay has finally opened up about the reason behind her long-standing conflict with fellow singer Tiwa Savage.
According to her, the misunderstanding stemmed from an issue involving her former personal assistant.
The ‘Yolo Yolo’ singer revealed that, without her knowledge, her ex-assistant was allegedly involved in a romantic affair with Tiwa Savage’s estranged husband, Tunji Balogun, also known as TBillz.
She explained that Tiwa may have assumed she was aware of the affair and possibly condoned it, which led to tension between them.
Seyi Shay said she only discovered the truth years later after unexpectedly meeting her former PA in London, where the woman confessed and apologised for being the cause of her fallout with Tiwa Savage.
Reflecting on the situation, Seyi described her ex-PA’s actions as “disgusting,” adding that she understood Tiwa’s reaction and might have responded even more strongly if the roles were reversed.
Speaking on the Offair Show, the singer said, “To cut the long story short, it turns out the girl was having a relationship with my girl’s [Tiwa Savage’s] husband and I didn’t even know. She [my ex-PA] 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 painful. If that was me, I would have done worse.”
