In other news, songstress, Tiwa Savage 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. She 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”
