‘I Don’t Consider Tiwa Savage a Friend’ – Yemi Alade

In a recent interview with Punch, Yemi Alade talked about her relationship with Tiwa Savage and other music stars including Seyi Shay and Chidinma.“I don’t know why the media takes pleasure in pitting great women against one another. Have you ever seen any text message from any of us lambasting another person?

There’s no proof of these things; it’s just in the imagination of people. I’ve never stopped working and I was already working before Tiwa Savage came to Nigeria. I am a fan of their music, and on my Snapchat page, I usually dance to their songs.

I do not consider Tiwa Savage a friend because I don’t know her favourite colour or meal and other intimate things. She is just my colleague.” she said when asked about her relationship with Tiwa and other stars.

On if she’s dating someone, “Other than being an entertainer, I have my personal life. If I’m going to be in a relationship with someone in the same profession with me, I’d have to be deeply in love with the person’s personality. If the personality suits me, why not? Personally, I think I’m a reserved and nice girl. I’m also a hopeless romantic; movies easily make me cry. The last movie that made me cry was a cartoon in which a little dinosaur lost his mum.” Yemi replied.
