All Tiwa Savage did was share a playful video on Instagram, dancing to her new song with Ruger, and it quickly stirred up drama with Wizkid FC.
The Nigerian music star, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, found herself responding to online trolls after some Wizkid fans accused her of using the video to gain attention.
Tiwa recently collaborated with Ruger on Toma Toma, an Afro-fusion track produced by Kukbeatz, which incorporates traditional Arewa drum elements. To promote the song, she posted a vibey Instagram clip, only for a Wizkid fan with the handle @standardwears1 to comment: “Dey play. Nothing special pass Wizzy hits.”
The remark didn’t sit well with Tiwa, who labelled it as bullying. She responded, “Because I am promoting music? Y’all are not fans anymore ooo. You guys are actual bullies.”
It seems even a simple dance video can spark intense fan wars in the Nigerian music scene.
