Nigerian music stars Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage have finally reconciled after seven years of feud.
Their rift started on social media, when Yemi Alade cryptically criticised female entertainers for enhancing their buttocks in photos to “deceive their fans.”
Yemi Alade’s post came a few hours after Tiwa Savage shared photos highlighting her curves.
In response, Tiwa teased Yemi Alade not to start a war that she couldn’t finish: “Don’t start a war you can’t finish.”
However, their reconciliation took place in Lagos on Thursday at ‘The Price of Being Her’ panel organized by Entertainment Week Africa.
Addressing Tiwa at the event, Alade, in a viral video online, said, “I honestly want you to know that those moments you get rugged and do what you truly want to do, you are standing up for many females. Just continue being you. You are literally walking in strength.”
Tiwa, who was moved by the tribute, became emotional and was captured in another video after the event singing and sharing a warm hug with Alade.
