Tiwa Savage attacks journalist over “Celia” album review

Celia, Tiwa Savage's third studio album, Celia, has received mixed-to-positive response from critics since it was released.

Nigerian music star, Tiwa Savage, has criticised a Pulse journalist, Motolani Alake, for an editorial piece on her career and a review of her third studio album, “Celia” .

The Pulse article titled “Tiwa Savage’s struggling brand and her hilarious endorsement of ‘Mungo Parking’” was published on Sunday.

Angered by the editorial piece, Tiwa called out the journalist and his media house on Twitter and described the article as pure evil.

The article read in part, “Since 2018, the woman affectionately called ‘Mummy Jam Jam’ by the Nigerian music industry has struggled to impress Nigerians and Nigerian media since her critically-acclaimed EP, Sugarcane.

”After it was released, ‘Celia’ sailed under the radar like a hopeless lagoon playing host to dirtbags.”

The writer also added that Celia had the lowest first week numbers from an analysis of albums by her, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy and Patoranking.

Justifying the opinion piece, the writer tweeted, “In the wake of @TiwaSavage’s inclusion on @TIME’s list of the best albums of 2020 and the twitter storm she created, it feels like the right time for this opinion piece on her brand and the larger issue of ‘Mungo Parking’.”

Responding via her official Twitter, Tiwa blasted the writer, saying, “You know how to diss out but you no fit take am when someone speaks up. Struggling brand ke. Even my son bagged more money than your whole company.”

“ I’m glad you know it’s YOU guys I was talking about. “Because say I quiet no mean say I be fool” – don’t try and turn nigerian media against me to hide your guilty conscience,” she said.
