Renowned Nigerian singer Yemi Alade dismissed comparisons with her colleague Tiwa Savage on her X (formerly Twitter) page. After expressing joy about her performance at the 2023 African Cup of Nations opening ceremony in Ivory Coast, a fan suggested she was better than Tiwa Savage. Alade, unimpressed by the comparison, encouraged the fan to support and celebrate both artists, emphasizing that they are both successful. In response, she aptly described comparison as “the thief of joy,” signaling her focus on unity and shared success in the music industry.
