Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage is no stranger to speculation, but when it comes to her collaborations especially with global superstar Wizkid, she’s making one thing clear: she didn’t chase anyone. In a recent candid statement, Tiwa addressed long-standing rumors about her relationship and professional dynamic with Wizkid, particularly in the aftermath of their smash hit “Ma Lo” and their chemistry-filled performances that set the internet ablaze. “Let me be clear, I didn’t chase him. He approached me first for a collab.” The Somebody’s Son crooner, known for breaking boundaries and redefining African pop stardom, reminded critics and fans alike that her success wasn’t borrowed or built off anyone else's fame. “I’m successful in my own right. I’ve worked hard, built my sound, and created my legacy. It’s funny how people assume a man had to help me shine. That’s not my story.” With a career spanning over a decade, Tiwa Savage has earned her seat at the top through grit, talent, and vision. From penning songs for international artists to becoming the first African female musician to sign with Roc Nation, her journey speaks for itself. “Yes, I’ve worked with amazing artists,” she continued, “but I bring power to the table too.” Tiwa's bold words are a powerful reminder to women in the industry and beyond that collaboration is not dependence, and visibility does not equal vulnerability. While her work with Wizkid has undeniably birthed unforgettable moments in Afrobeats history, her individual brilliance, consistency, and artistry are what continue to define her legacy. Whether she’s headlining festivals, shutting down global stages, or creating genre-bending records, Tiwa Savage is not standing in anyone’s shadow she’s casting one of her own.
