Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade a few of the selected nominated African Influencer 2019 by E! people choice award. Both reacted to this Video of OAPs Mocking Female Artists Off Air: Tiwa took to it to Instagram and wrote: “To the ladies in this video hope you keep the same energy when you see me in person”
In the video, there were three OAP females who work at City FM, unaware that the studio camera was recording, alleged that Tiwa Savage cannot write songs and only sings other people’s songs yet she keeps getting successful. The ladies also compared her with Yemi Alade, insinuating that Yemi is better than her.
Tiwa Savage wrote: “Yooo look at the so called FEMALE gate keepers #OAP that are supposed to help fellow female artists and shout that female should support each other are seen here abusing female artists not knowing cameras were still rolling And they wonder why I keep to myself ? To the ladies in this video hope you keep the same energy when you see me in person #2Seconds”
Yemi Alade also shared the video of the OAPs comparing her to other female artists. She wrote:
‘It’s impossible to be liked by everyone! But in this clip we see 3 women ridiculing and making small talk about successful women, to the extent of calling someone a FOOL!
She even took her song off the systems programmed play, I don’t even understand the English or language this lady used to insult me when she mentioned my name.
However, I am even more perplexed as to the mental state of these women. How can people this wounded in spirit and poor in mind be able to get jobs that involve addressing millions of people, influencing their thoughts, educating listeners, promoting justice?
Nonetheless!! Women DO support women!and unfortunately, these 3 are just a few of the bad eggs.I can’t forgive you because you haven’t offended me to be sincere, lion no dey concern imself with wetin sheep dey talk.
Even if I ran into them, I wouldn’t even know who they are. If we start to listen in on the PURELY EVIL CONVERSATIONS PEOPLE have about Artists; female or male, omo data go finish.
I know a few OAPS that know how to voice their opinion without being hateful, but these three? Need re-orientation, re-education, and redirection in life.
This is def how they talk about all artists!all people! This is the hate they SPREAD! NAIJA WHICH WAY!
We didn’t Rise to top because of insults, neither can it bring us down!’
