Tiwa Savage versus Seyi Shay, are we about to witness a full blown rivalry between these two singers?
Yesterday (Thursday, May 5, 2016) Seyi Shay reacted to Tiwa Savage's snub during a recent interview. In the Urban Superstar Top 10 interview by Urban96FM the Mavin singer snubbed Seyi Shay when asked about her. Instead of talking about Seyi Shay, Tiwa Savage praised Davido for his new Pepsi endorsement.

When asked about Seyi Shay being a Pepsi ambassador with her
Tiwa Savage said "You are so…ugh…having an interview with this girl is
crazy. See I knew you were going to drop this in anyway, everybody has heard!
What? Am I happy for Davido? Of course. I love him. He’s absolutely
fantastic."

Seyi Shay caught the shade and reacted to it. She shared a
screenshot of Tiwa Savage's statement on her Instagram and captioned it
"Yikes." She also added a heartbroken emoticon to the caption.
Responding to a fan in her comment section Seyi Shay admitted that Tiwa Savage's
response hurt her.

Tiwa Savage's comment during the radio interview was most
likely a response to what Seyi Shay said about her during a Rubbin'
Minds interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. When
asked about her relationship with Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay said "I don’t
really know her”. Of course this made the news.
So we now have two cases of these pop singers taking shots at
each other. There had been no case of bad blood between Tiwa Savage and Seyi
Shay until recently. So what is the cause of this cold war between the two
ladies?

Maybe it all started in November 2015, when Seyi Shay was revealed as an ambassador for Pepsi. This bit of news was
surprising because Tiwa Savage was still a Pepsi ambassador. There were rumours
that Tiwa Savage had been dropped for Seyi Shay. Of course that rumour didn't
turn out to be true. Yet people wondered why a brand will sign two female
singers within the same genre? A few months later Davido would
come on board the Pepsi brand which had struck an endorsement deal with
Wizkid a year earlier. Maybe this is how Pepsi prefers to do
business- signing up music rivals.

Whatever the reason(s) is/are, the cold war between Tiwa Savage
and Seyi Shay might go on for a while. Although it seems Tiwa Savage is
preoccupied with personal and family matters. The interview was conducted before
the crash of her marriage last week. Anyway Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay have made
it known they are not sisters or friends. Let's see how this plays out.
