The award-winning singer has spoken candidly about her lingering feelings for her former partner and longtime collaborator, admitting that performing alongside Wizkid still affects her profoundly. In a video circulating widely on social media, Tiwa revealed that being in close proximity to the singer during performances brings back intense memories from their shared past, making it difficult for her to mask her emotions.
She reflected on their much-talked-about reunion at the Great Lagos Countdown 2025, an annual music event that marked their first joint performance in several years. According to Tiwa, seeing Wizkid again in that setting reignited emotions she believed had long settled.
The singer explained that despite the ups and downs that characterised their relationship, the joyful moments they shared have remained vivid in her heart. She noted that her emotional response has not changed with time, confessing that her heart still reacts the same way whenever they are together.
Tiwa described the experience of performing with Wizkid as “uncomfortable,” not because of tension, but because of the feelings it stirs. Speaking openly, she admitted that she is still in love with him and that the connection they once shared continues to resurface whenever they meet on stage.
Recalling the reunion, she said her heartbeat mirrored what it felt like six years ago, adding that she struggles to control her smile whenever Wizkid comes close. She also acknowledged that the beautiful memories they created together sometimes overshadow the painful aspects of their past.
In an unusually vulnerable moment, Tiwa went as far as saying that if she could choose one man in this lifetime, it would be Wizkid—a statement that has since sparked widespread conversation among fans and observers alike.
Her remarks offer a rare glimpse into the emotional complexities behind one of Afrobeats’ most iconic musical pairings, reminding audiences that even global stars are not immune to unresolved feelings and the lasting impact of love once shared.
