Nigerian songstress Seyi Shay has publicly expressed openness to reconciling with colleague Tiwa Savage, ending years of reported tension between the artists. The revelation came during her recent interview with Saturday Punch.
Addressing their much-publicized fallout, Shay clarified that a past Pepsi campaign involvement – often cited as the conflict’s origin – was purely business. “That period was strictly a brand decision, not personal,” she emphasized.
The vocalist denied harboring ill will toward Savage’s career achievements. “I’ve never celebrated another woman’s challenges,” Shay stated. “I deeply respect Tiwa’s journey. She’s an incredible trailblazer.”
Reflecting on their history, Shay attributed their 2021 clash to industry pressures. “We navigated a competitive environment under stress,” she noted. “High emotions sometimes cause miscommunication.”
With newfound perspective from maturity, Shay now prefers dialogue over discord. “Given another chance, I’d choose communication before confrontation,” the artist confessed.
Shay extended an olive branch for private or public discussions. “Life’s too short for unresolved tension,” she declared. “Healing narratives could inspire other women in music.”
The singer believes reconciliation would showcase female unity. “There’s strength in rising above old conflicts,” Shay affirmed. “We’ve both progressed significantly.”
Their dispute gained notoriety when a 2021 salon altercation video went viral. Shay’s current stance marks a potential turning point in their relationship.
