Tiwa Savage, Nigerian Afrobeats singer, has denied claims that she mocked fellow music star, Wizkid, following the release of her new album, This One is Personal.
The rumours started after social media users began suggesting that the singer may have thrown subtle jabs at Wizkid through some of her recent activities online. This speculation quickly spread across different platforms, with many fans assuming there was tension between the two artistes.
However, when the claims were further examined, no evidence was found to support them. Grok, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) bot, was reported to have carried out a check and confirmed that the allegations of trolling had no factual basis.

Reacting to the matter, via a post on social media, Tiwa Savage expressed her surprise at how fast the story had circulated, even without proof. In her words, “Thank you o, have never done that. But they have just ran with this narrative and I have just kept quiet.”
The singer further explained that she has never insulted or trolled Wizkid, stressing that the public often misinterprets her actions or statements. She noted that false narratives are sometimes created around her name, which she prefers not to respond to immediately.
Rumours about Tiwa Savage and Wizkid are not new. In 2018, the two musicians collaborated on Wizkid’s hit single, Fever. The music video, which showed both artistes displaying strong on-screen chemistry, fueled widespread speculations that they were dating.
Both Tiwa Savage and Wizkid, however, came out repeatedly to deny being in a romantic relationship. Tiwa Savage has always clarified that their connection is purely professional and built on mutual respect as artistes.
She described Wizkid as her close friend and business partner, stating, “Wizkid is my best friend, we have a business relationship, we do shows together both indoors and outdoors.”
