No Longer Friends: Seyi Shay Reveals The Pain Behind Rift With Tiwa Savage

Singer Seyi Shay has finally revealed the real reason behind her fallout with fellow star Tiwa Savage.

According to the “Yolo” crooner, their friendship collapsed due to an affair between her former personal assistant and Tiwa’s ex-husband, TeeBillz.

Speaking on the OffAir Show, Seyi explained that she had been in the dark for years about what caused the rift, until she reconnected with her former staff member. The woman later approached her with an apology, admitting she had once been romantically involved with TeeBillz while working under Seyi.

Seyi revealed she was completely unaware of the affair at the time and was stunned to discover it may have been the reason Tiwa cut ties with her. She described the revelation as heartbreaking, given how close she and Tiwa once were, often collaborating and sharing a strong bond.

She said:

“I honestly didn’t know why Tiwa and I stopped talking. A young lady I once hired as my PA… after the salon incident, I moved to London to have my daughter. Years later, I ran into her at a club—someone I hadn’t seen in about seven years. She reached out on Instagram, we met for lunch, and she confessed: ‘I saw what happened, and I’m sorry. It affected your career, and I feel like I caused it.’

To cut the story short, she admitted she was having a relationship with Tiwa’s husband, and I had no idea. She told me everything, and I believed her—why would she make that up? When I heard it, I was disgusted. Tiwa must have thought I knew all along, and you can imagine how betrayed she must have felt. It’s so painful. If it were me, I probably would have reacted even worse.”
