‘You Guys are Actual Bullies’ – Tiwa Savage to Wizkid FC
Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has called out some fans of Wizkid, popularly known as Wizkid FC, after a playful Instagram video of her promoting her new song sparked online drama.
Tiwa, who recently collaborated with Ruger on the Afro-fusion track Toma Toma, shared a lighthearted clip of herself dancing to the song on Instagram. While the video was intended to create buzz around her latest release, it drew criticism from a Wizkid fan with the handle @standardwears1, who commented, “Dey play. Nothing special pass Wizzy hits.”
The comment prompted a sharp response from Tiwa, who wrote, “Because I am promoting music? Y’all are not fans anymore ooo. You guys are actual bullies.”
The exchange highlights the growing trend of intense fan rivalries within the Nigerian music industry, where even innocuous promotions can ignite heated online debates.
Tiwa’s new single, produced by Kukbeatz, incorporates traditional Arewa drum elements and has been making waves since its release. Despite the online drama, the singer seems focused on pushing her music forward.
As fan wars continue to dominate the industry, artists like Tiwa Savage are standing their ground, calling for healthier interactions and mutual respect.
