On the With Chude podcast, the “Johnny” hitmaker shared her history of working with female artists, “I’ve had collaborations with Omawumi, Waje and even Seyi Shay. I’ve also worked with amazing female African artists around the world — my song Come and See My Mother was with MzVee from Ghana.”

She reaffirmed her stance, saying, “I’m a big champion for female collaborators, you know. But I know that a fan favourite is the one you mentioned. I’d rather just stay clear. I don’t want problems in my life.”

When asked about the potential for conflict, Yemi clarified, “There is no problem at all between Tiwa and me. You know the thing is that most times, fans and media just tend to stir the waters where the water is supposed to be still. I’m not trying to make something out of nothing because there is literally no problem at all.”
