There was a rumour on social media on Saturday, January 6, 2024, that the popular afrobeats music icon David Adeleke popularly known as Davido and his colleague songstress Tiwa Savage unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Davido and Tiwa Savage were known to have had a cordial relationship over the years, with their children, Imade Adeleke and Jamil Balogun, following in their parents’ footsteps.

Both children attended the same school and had been seen on several occasions enjoying each other’s company.

However, there have been diverse speculations as to what could have informed both top artistes unfollowing each other, with some fans opining that the move could be a result of the waxing friendship between Savage and Sophia Momodu, the mother of Davido’s first child, Imade.

Some suggest tensions arose due to Sophia’s recent interactions with Tiwa and Davido’s rival, Wizkid.

This narrative plays on long-standing dynamics within the Nigerian music scene, where alliances and rivalries often intertwine.

However, attributing the unfollow solely to personal drama risks overlooking the complexities of celebrity friendships. Public persona and private lives frequently diverge, with online interactions not always reflecting the true state of relationships.

While rumors offer juicy tidbits, they often lack concrete evidence and can be damaging to individuals involved.

A fan identified as Dee Tweh wrote, “That is his business. He will be just fine, and what is Tiwa’s business with him and Sophia? Or is he begging, and Sophia did not accept?”

Porsche Anderson wrote, “You can’t be friends with my enemies. I kicked them off.”

I Am Blessed wrote, “Long overdue.”
