Popular singer, Tiwa Savage has shed more light on her relationship with Wizkid.

Even if Tiwa did not give a direct yes or no answer, she gave her fans something to think about with her reply.

During her recent concert, Tiwa described Wizkid as a special one, saying their relationship is not a community relationship.

She added that whatever she has with him is nobody’s business.

Her words, “I may be older, but the older the berry, the sweeter the juice.”

Is she making sense?
