Recently, two of the biggest female African music stars in Nigeria and Africa, Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage, appeared to have a fight on social media over the size of their buttocks. The singers are not known to be friends, which perhaps made fans to tag them as rivals.
But
Alade’s long-time manager, Taiye Aliu, said there was no rivalry
between both singers. He said, “We are focused solely on music; we have
no time for rivalry or anything of that sort. The sky is so big for
everyone to fly. Do you think there is a rivalry between Femi Otedola
and Aliko Dangote? Yemi Alade doesn’t consider Tiwa Savage a rival.”
Affirming
that 2018 was an amazing year for Alade as she had the opportunity to
take her music to new places across the globe, Aliu said, “The only
thing is to put in more work; it is never enough. As an artiste, you
will always want to have more impact on your community and the world.
Right now, Yemi Alade is not just a Nigerian but an African ambassador
too.”
Aliu also said Alade never took criticisms of her music personally, saying that “all she does is to work harder.”
