Mavin Records star Tiwa Savage has been spotted with Nigeria’s shining pop star Wizkid and their photo together is currently buzzing across the internet. On Thursday, May 19, the Eminado singer shared some photos from a video location but the exact details of the
project aren’t clear as at this point. Whatever the case, the fans love the fact Tiwa has risen from the setbacks of her recent marital issues into making music and entertaining. Similarly, the singer was spotted with Funke Akindele on the set of popular comedy TV series Jenifa’s Diary on Wednesday, May 4. Recall that the music star had an unforgettable situation with ex-husband Tunji ‘Tee Billz’ Balogun on Thursday, April 28 after he took to Instagram and shared several private details of their affair, an act that caused a major uproar online and across the media.

Following the dramas in the wake of their (collapsed) marriage, we outlined five major reasons the 36-year-old mother of one will bounce back in no time, controversies regardless.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source stated that both singers were on location to shoot the video for Bad, an awesome piece which was part of the deluxe version of the album which she dropped in February, 2016.

He said: “Oh man, see the thing is we aren’t saying anything officially about those photos and the video shoot yet. It’s really surprising that people have already picked up the photos [which show Tiwa on a video location with Wizkid] and have started making news off them. “Anyways, the truth of it is that a video has been shot and the song for which the video was shot is Bad off Tiwa’s album R.E.D. “The video was shot in Lagos and directed by Sesan Ogunro. The management just decided to make it happen real quick seeing as Wizkid is in town briefly and a video for the song was overdue. “But we will be putting out an official release when the video is set to drop. For now, Tiwa is working, she is busy making great stuff for her fans and everyone should just be on the look out.”

Bad is a club-friendly and radio-ready song. The song is heavy, a bit slow and deliberately catchy for the parties and social gathering. Wizkid sings in his usual pop style and Tiwa marries his efforts with marked artistry and balance. Both artistes have a controlled rendition on Bad and it hits you with the swoosh sound of a cool breeze upon first listen.

Tiwa sent subliminal messages across to her haters in one of her verses. She sang: “Yea I’m coming to cause trouble, you don’t like me unfollow. “You can’t talk about my hustle, you make money I make double.” Both singers have the ears of the listeners with the indigenous lyrics and solid drums that play all through four minutes of the song. Tiwa Savage dropped R.E.D. her second studio album on Wednesday December 16, 2015 at Spice Route, Victoria Island, Lagos. The concert was hosted by media personality Fade Ogunro. The dance and romance themed album featured Wizkid but their collaboration, Bad, did not make the earlier cut which dropped and was available for free download in 2015. However, the song is now available on the deluxe version of the album which dropped in February 2016.
