Famous singer, Tiwa Savage, has shared a heartwarming story about her encounter with colleague cum rapper, Olamide. According to Tiwa Savage, Olamide’s management demanded 100 million from her for a verse on her song, but he shockingly declined.
The Stamina crooner stated that he didn’t charge the 35-year-old because of their sibling-like relationship and his awareness of the difficulties faced by female artists in the music industry.
Instead, Olamide showed his generosity and support by offering the verse for free. The 44-year-old Tiwa Savage expressed her gratitude, acknowledging that good people like Olamide exist in the industry. The singer who recently dropped a single ‘Commona’ with Olamide said:
“I was talking to his management, I didn’t want to talk to him directly cus he will want to do it for free. Spoke to his team and they charged N100m. I was willing to pay. When Olamide asked them who the artiste was, they said me and he just said NO. He won’t take it. He said I am his sister and he knows how difficult it is to make it in the industry as a woman. That’s how he denied and guess what? He gave me the verse for Free. Good people exist and Baddo is one”
In the meantime, Tiwa Savage recalled how, at the beginning of her career, her “sexy” style drew harsh criticism. In a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage recalled that, when she was younger, she was also made fun of for her “risky” lyrics. She admitted, nonetheless, that her obsession with Ayra Starr stems from her own experience.
