Music stars Tiwa Savage and Tems have become a trending topic on Twitter as Nigerians argue which artiste is a better singer.
A video of Tiwa Savage doing a cover of 2face’s ‘Only Me’ resurfaced online on Friday which led to her fans hailing as the ‘biggest female singer in Nigeria’.
However, Tems fans argued that the ‘Essence’ star is a better singer than Tiwa.
Here are some of the debates.
@Gideon wrote: Tiwa Savage covering 2Baba’s Only Me on Udux X switch might be one of the best covers in recent times. Tiwa cannot be compared to Tems. She will and us crazy things cover but can Tems land us Codeine Diet?”
Responding to Gideon’s tweet, @Uzed wrote: “Give credit to whom credit is due. @official2baba 2BABA!!! Just listen to the lyrics and compare them to what most of these boys are putting out there today. Kudos to Tiwa for such an elegant rendition.”
“All these Tiwa Savage slander and Tems hype are very good for the female music industry coz they do deserve to be talked about. However, belittling TIWA SAVAGE for any, and I mean ANY FEMALE NIGERIAN ARTISTE is a case of ingratitude and crass ignorance and that’s FINAL,” @Blackmamba wrote.
“You dey compare Tiwa savage and Tems. Tiwa started singing in 2010 when Tems was 15 yrs old,” @BigR tweeted.
@Dray wrote: “Tems can debut on HOT100 with two different songs but can Tiwa Savage ever smell Bubbling?”
@Akin wrote: “Tiwa savage already won an MTV Europe award, Tems hasn’t won any significant award herself.”
“Y’all saying ‘na just hype’ for Tems are just closed-minded people. You don’t know music. These ladies are good in their own unique way. Comparison is bullshit. You being for Tiwa Savage doesn’t mean Tems is a bad singer,” @Yaw wrote.
