Yemi Alade wins second consecutive MAMA, but is she better than Tiwa Savage? Nigerians react
Nigerians have quickly taken to the social media to continue the battle of supremacy between two of Nigeria and Africa’s finest female acts, Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade.
While the latter is seen as a bigger and more recognised artist on the continent, especially with her recent exploits with the Roc Nation where she was reportedly signed, the former has proven otherwise by winning the award as the best female act in Africa for two consecutive years at the Mtv Africa Music Awards (MAMA2016).
The awards ceremony is presently ongoing in Johannesburg, one of the biggest cities in South Africa and Nigerians watching from their homes and at the venue have divergent opinions about who is the better artiste of the pair.
Check out their tweets below:
Yemi Alade has won Africa Best Female Artiste twice in a row. But people want to tell us Tiwa Savage is the best female artiste in Nigeria.

I try to avoid this comparisons. Tiwa has a feel that we all like. But I love Yemi Alade’s Energy https://t.co/5HZVxYGfcH

This past 18 months, Yemi Alade has grown so big, she’s continents away from Tiwa.

I said specifically that Yemi Alade was more musically relevant in Nigeria than Tiwa Savage. Facts only.

Tiwa Savage is good but Yemi Alade is more African in terms of her music and her dance steps? Gosh!!! Yemi can lead a pope into temptation
