<h1>In an audio obtained by Pulse Nigeria on June 8, 2021, Seyi Shay narrates her side of the story and made some accusations towards Tiwa Savage.</h1>

<p>On June 8, 2021, Nigerian stars, <strong>Seyi Shay</strong> and <strong>Tiwa Savage</strong> met each other at Tayo Cuts, Triplet Studio, Lekki Phase One. It is a health and beauty salon that specializes in short hair treatment. Savage was there, already getting her hair done while Shay was there to get her hair done for her Idols appearance on Sunday, June 13, 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Around 11 am, Shay could already feel the tension as she walked in and saw <strong>Tiwa Savage </strong>at the salon.</p>

<p>Their eyes met and Shay deemed it fit to go say hi to ease the tension. Their mutual presence in the same space was uneasy because of reasons Pulse Nigeria covered in <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/tiwa-savage-and-seyi-shay-almost-come-to-blows-over-2-year-old-beef/rb4hnsd">a report earlier today.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Shay recalls that she walked over to say hi to Savage, who greeted her back while they shared fleeting glances at each other. As further told by Seyi Shay and confirmed by an eyewitness, Savage walked over to Shay around 20 minutes later and the now infamous argument began.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A shocked Shay says that Savage’s beef with her was not about the #FvckYouChallenge verse she recorded in April 2019 because they have met each other more than twice since her #FvckYouChallenge and they exchanged pleasantries on all occasions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“<em>We’ve even entered private jet together, we’ve taken pictures together,</em>” Shay recalls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After having writing credits for acts like <strong>Fantasia Barrino </strong>and working with producer <strong>Harmony Samuels </strong>in Los Angeles, California, Tiwa Savage returned to Nigeria with her manager and ex-husband, <strong>Tunji ‘Teebilz’ Balogun </strong>with popstar dreams.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alongside <strong>Davido </strong>who was co-signed by <strong>Tosin Ashafa, </strong>Savage was signed by <strong>Flytime CEO, Cecil Hammond. </strong>It was at this time that Savage and Davido briefly became roommates. While in Nigeria, Hammond pitched Savage to some producers including <strong>Don Jazzy, </strong>but the arrangement didn’t work out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But by August 2010, Savage’s National Anthem became the toast of Nigeria<strong>. </strong>A little while later with financial push from Hammond, she went back to Los Angeles to work with Harmony Samuels and came back with ‘<em>Kele Kele Love</em>,’ which became a smash hit. From there, she never looked back and later joined <strong>MAVIN Records.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>After losing Savage, Hammond once again worked his magic and brought on Seyi Shay to recreate the magic and he did. Like clockwork, Shay also shares ties with Harmony Samuels, who produced her first single, ‘<em>No Lele</em>.’ Under the watchful eye of Hammond, Shay rose and became a bonafide star of Nigerian pop music.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In those moments, the seeds of beef were first planted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shay was in America when she saw a video of ‘<em>Lova Lova</em>’ featuring <strong>Duncan Mighty </strong>pop up on her television screen. Surprised alongside members of her team, she placed a call to Tiwa Savage to clarify her stance. She had co-written the song with Nigerian singer-songwriter, <strong>Ceeza Milli </strong>who passed it to Savage without prior notice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shay claims that she only asked for metadata and rights to the song but she was confronted by roadblocks.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2014-2017: Brand deals and collaborations&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In 2014, Shay had butted heads with a pregnant Savage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the same audio that Pulse obtained, Shay says that Savage threatened to sue a brand if she [Shay] wasn’t pulled from an ambassadorial role. A little while later, Savage also allegedly picked a fight with a popular male artist for featuring on a song for the two female artists respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2019-2021: FvckYouChallenge and back to Tayo Cuts</h2>

<p>In April 2019, Seyi Shay took aim at Tiwa Savage with subtle jabs in her version of Kizz Daniel’s viral #FvckYouChallenge.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>You say you be my sister, but you wan collect my lover</em></p>

<p><em>You be deceiver, olofofo heart robber</em></p>

<p><em>Na why I no dey fuck you anymore</em></p>

<p><em>I no get time for you anymore</em></p>

<p><em>You know I’m not Savage, I dey pay my bills</em></p>

<p><em>You no go see my name for the Xscape</em></p>

<p><em>But [Prostitute] come be your hobby</em></p>

<p><em>Na so you come take first rate their hobby…</em></p>

<p>Shay also appeared to take shots at Savage for allegedly trying to block other women in the industry.</p>

<p>With what happened at Tayo Cuts in June 2021, Seyi Shay feels like she could have said more damaging things in the verse.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To Shay, her #FvckYouChallenge verse was a culmination of all the things she’s experienced with Tiwa Savage.&nbsp;</p>

<h1>Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage's latest interview with Ebuka on BlackBox gives a detailed account of her relationship with Tunji TeeBillz Balogun.</h1>

<p>She talked about how they went from being business partners to becoming husband and wife and later handling one of the messiest divorce scandals in the history of the Nigerian entertainment industry.</p>

<p>According to the award-winning music star, she met TeeBillz for the first time in <strong>Los Angeles</strong> during <strong>Timaya</strong>'s concert. All she wanted was to meet the A&amp;R guy who could help her transition to the Nigerian music industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>"So one of the guys was like 'stop going to all these American A&amp;Rs they don't get it, there's this guy they call TeeBillz they have this song called Yebariba with Sauce Kid and they killed it. So I sent him my CV he was like they will call you and he never did. Then Timaya had a concert in L. A and I went,"</em> she said.</p>

<p><em>"The guy was like that's the guy TeeBillz and I was like he never called me back. I went up to him and I was like 'why didn't you call me back?' He was like who are you and I said I am Tiwa, I sent you my CV...he called me the next day, said he liked my vocals and advised I moved back to Nigeria and I was like yeah I want to go back to Nigeria."</em></p>

<p>Savage said what started as just a manager-artist relationship grew into a romantic relationship.</p>

<p><em>"I use to drop him off at the houses of different women. I'll be like 'which one is this one again.' There was a time the press were speculating that we were dating and we weren't dating. It just happened...when you spend all day with the same person...we just grew,"</em> she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>"He was just someone who had my back and we would discuss everything. It started off with the nice compliments 'you look nice' and I'll be like hmmm. Then I'll go look at myself in the mirror. I started doing extra to get to impress him to get that compliment every day and I was getting it. Then I was 'I think he likes me.'</em></p>

<p>Ebuka asked Savage if she was ever worried about mixing relationship with the business.</p>

<p><em>''You know when you are in love you are not seeing any...I was like ours is going to be different. We are going to make it work, we are in love, we are best friends. I didn't even think about it like mixing the two,"</em> she said.</p>

<p>Savage's marriage to TeeBillz crashed after her <a href="http://pulse.ng/celebrities/tiwa-savage-singer-addresses-tee-billz-s-accusations-exclusive-video-id4978595.html?_ga=2.155595641.353279714.1604767611-1450169265.1547017614">tell-all interview</a> where she spilled all the tea about the crisis in their home. Ebuka asked the music star if she regretted doing that interview or not.</p>

<p><em>"No! I wouldn't have done it because I am a very private person. I definitely didn't want to expose my private issues but I was also getting pressure from other people that were mentioned in there like Sid, my mum, and dad. It was almost like I was coming to clear the air for everyone that was mentioned not just myself. I have no regrets because I know how many people reached out to me after and said they found a voice to speak out about their situation because I was able to,"</em> she said.</p>

Tiwa Savage cries during interview on Teebillz.

<p><em>"If I had known I wouldn't have ended it publicly or have it escalate to that level in front of everyone. Because this wasn't just trending in Nigeria, it was everywhere for months. When I'll go to events I could hear people whisper, I could see it in their eyes. A lot of people didn't think I could get through that and still build my brand or still be here as Tiwa Savage. I had to work hard to retain some of my endorsements because I lost some."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>On her present relationship with TeeBillz, Savage says it is cordial as he remains a very important figure in the life of their son.</p>
