After a seven-year quarrel, Nigerian music singers Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage have finally made amends.
Their disagreement began on social media when Yemi Alade cryptically accused female performers of “deceiving their fans” by boosting their butts in pictures.
A few hours after Tiwa Savage posted pictures showcasing her curves, Yemi Alade made her post.
In response, Tiwa warned Yemi Alade not to start a war that she couldn’t finish: “Don’t start a war you can’t finish.”
However, their reconciliation took place in Lagos on Thursday at the ‘The Price of Being Her’ panel, organised by Entertainment Week Africa.
Addressing Tiwa at the event, Alade, in a viral video online, said, “I honestly want you to know that those moments you get rugged and do what you truly want to do, you are standing up for many females. Just continue being you. You are literally walking in strength.”

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has spoken about how she was sexually harassed during her early years as a young, struggling female artist.
The Johnny crooner revealed that sexual harassment was the major challenge she confronted, recalling how music executives often harassed her during meetings and studio sessions while she was still a teenager.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Swift Conversations podcast, Alade said, “In those beginning days, all I thought I needed was just my talent because that’s what I have. I didn’t have a bank account full of money I could use to sponsor myself.
“I just had a talent and a zeal, and a promise that I made to myself and a promise I believed God made to me. So, I always tried to show up. I was told that I needed to work harder and so I worked harder, and it wasn’t enough. There were doors I needed to walk up to and when I walked up to the doors, they didn’t want my talent, they wanted something else.
“Many times from business meetings to studio sessions to even winning certain awards and you meet maybe the managing director or any other executive and they are trying to rub your thighs under the table. And I was just a teen.
