In a recent interview, Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage set the record straight about her past relationship with fellow musician Wizkid. Despite widespread speculation and rumors that the two were romantically involved, Tiwa revealed that their relationship was purely platonic and professional.
“Wizkid and I were never dating; we were just two adults who decided to come together and make money together,” Tiwa Savage stated. She explained that while they shared a close bond, it was always within the boundaries of friendship and business. “We did virtually everything together and sometimes we even slept on the same bed together, and nothing happened.”
Tiwa further elaborated on the nature of their relationship, describing Wizkid as “like a brother” to her. She clarified that the romantic rumors were merely a “publicity stunt,” and their connection was based on mutual respect and a shared passion for music. “Wizkid and I did virtually everything together. We did music together, we did shows together, we made money and did every other thing together, but nothing ever happened. I was into a friends-with-benefits kinda friendship with Wizkid, but it was strictly business.”
She also touched on the public’s perception during that time, noting that her lack of romantic relationships wasn’t due to a lack of interest but rather because people assumed she was dating Wizkid. “Nobody was even sliding into my DM and asking me out by that time ’cause they all thought I was dating Wizkid and everybody respects Wizkid.”
Tiwa Savage’s candid remarks provide a glimpse into the dynamics of her relationship with Wizkid, highlighting the importance of friendship and collaboration in their careers. Despite the rumors, she emphasized that their bond was rooted in mutual support and a shared commitment to their craft.
This revelation underscores the notion that best friends can indeed be those with whom you share not only personal moments but also professional success. For Tiwa and Wizkid, their friendship was a testament to the power of collaboration and the value of maintaining boundaries, even in the face of public scrutiny.
