Reacting to this, Seyi Shay in an exclusive interview with Pulse Nigeria disclosed she walked up to Tiwa as a result of pressure.
According to Seyi Shay, she went to Tayo Cuts Salon to get her done for her appearance at Nigerian Idol this coming Sunday and unfortunately for her, Tiwa was also getting her hair done. She admitted she initially wanted to ignore her and go about her business, but people who knew their history were already staring at them and she got up to greet her in order to ease the tension.
“SO I WALKED INTO THE SALOON AND I SAW TIWA. AS I SAW TIWA, I SAT DOWN AND SAID LET ME JUST CHILL. LET ME JUST MAINTAIN MY DISTANCE, CAUSE YOU KNOW PEOPLE IN THE SALOON WERE ALREADY LOOKING AT ME AND HER AND ACTUALLY, THAT WAS WHAT MADE ME STAND UP AND GO GREET HER….
I could see that people were already looking at us and no, we could just let them feel like there’s something wrong , do you understand? So I went up to her, just tapped her on her shoulder and said hi how are you? And Tiwa just responded and said hi too? After that we just exchanged glances and pleasantries and I went back to sit down.
And 20 minutes later, Tiwa came back to where I was and she said, “Seyi, in your dirty stinking life never ever greet me outside again” so I apologized and informed her I won’t, but she still continued to scream”
Speaking of the insults Tiwa Savage rained on her, Seyi Shay revealed that Tunde Ednut is biased and didn’t really post the full clip of what happened at the saloon”.
According to Seyi, She stated that Tiwa Savage insulted her, body shamed her and called her Barren. Seyi Shay disclosed that she had suffered a miscarriage which really affected her reproductive organs and she might never children again. However, Tiwa decided to rip the bandage off her wounds and poured salt on it and this really hurt her feelings.
Seyi Shay also revealed that Tiwa Savage stole her song, Lova Lova and failed to give her writing credits. Seyi claims she confronted her for her credits, but Tiwa Savage and her team always found ways to avoid the issue.
She finally revealed that the reason for Tiwa’s anger and for their longtime beef is Kizz Daniel’s Fuck Challenge. According to Seyi Shay, she hasn’t released a diss track about Tiwa and when she eventually does, Tiwa will be really pissed.
Seyi Shay once again slammed Tiwa Savage for using her only son With Teebliz, Jamil to swear for something as petty as their beef. She based her actions as stupidity and warned her to be careful of the words that come out of her mouth in public.

Nigerian Afrobeats star BNXN has responded to comments made by American rapper Fat Joe regarding the origins of his former stage name “Buju,” reigniting debate across the global music scene.
Speaking on the Joe and Jada podcast, Fat Joe claimed he once called out a “fake guy in Africa” for using the Buju name, suggesting that the criticism led BNXN born Daniel Etiese Benson—to eventually rebrand in 2022. The remarks quickly went viral, drawing backlash from fans and industry figures.
BNXN initially reacted strongly in a now-deleted post, accusing Fat Joe of spreading misinformation and showing “hate” toward African music. He later softened his stance, calling for mutual respect between artists across continents and emphasizing the need for better understanding of Afrobeats and its cultural roots.
The controversy has sparked wider conversations online, with Nigerian rapper Olamide and other artists publicly backing BNXN.
Supporters argue that the name “Buju” was never exclusively owned, pointing out its separate usage by Jamaican reggae icon Buju Banton, whose influence spans decades.
Fans have also weighed in with streaming comparisons, noting that BNXN’s catalog has, in some cases, outperformed Buju Banton’s on platforms like Spotify fueling debates about generational shifts and the global rise of Afrobeats.
BNXN adopted his new name in 2022 to establish a distinct identity while maintaining his artistic legacy. Despite the brief clash, his recent comments suggest a desire to move forward, focusing on music and cross-cultural collaboration rather than conflict.
