“I will never forget the lesson Wizkid taught me. You see, back in the day when I was still under Mavin Records, I dropped one of the biggest love songs in Africa—‘Romantic.’ I featured Tiwa Savage on the track, and the plan was for us to play lovebirds in the music video. You know, hold hands, dance a little, maybe even vibe like a real couple.
But guess what? Tiwa said, ‘I can’t do this. You’re like a child to me. I’m 17 years older than you. I can’t let a small boy rock my body in a music video.’
I was shocked! I mean, it’s just acting, right? But she wouldn’t agree. Because of that, the director had to find a vixen to replace her for the romantic scenes. No problem, we moved on.
Fast forward a few years later, and this same Tiwa was not just dancing but tw£rking for Wizkid! She was all over him, online and offline—and mind you, she’s still older than him, about 11 years’ difference. But this time, age wasn’t a problem anymore.
Life isn’t balanced at all.”
