Popular songstress, Tiwa Savage, has shared a heartwarming story about her encounter with colleague cum rapper, Olamide

Tiwa Savage revealed that she offered to pay Olamide ₦100 million for a verse on her song, as charged by his management, but he surprisingly declined.

The Stamina crooner claimed the 35 year old hinged on their sibling-like relationship and his understanding of the challenges female artiste face in the industry and didn’t charge her.

Instead, Olamide generously offered the verse for free, demonstrating his kind and supportive nature.

44 year old Tiwa Savage expressed her gratitude, acknowledging that good people like Olamide exist in the industry. The songstress 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”

Meanwhile, Tiwa Savage recounted how she was heavily criticised over her “sexy” fashion style in the early days of her career.

Speaking in a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage recalled that she was also thrown under the bus for her “risky” lyrics as a youngster.

She disclosed that she is however obsessed with Ayra Starr because of her own personal experience.

Tiwa Savage noted that Starr has continued to shine on the global music scene despite the criticisms hauled at her by Nigerians over her dress sense.
