Popular Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, known as Waje, has debunked rumours that she and rapper M.I. once dated.
The duo sparked dating speculations after they collaborated on multiple romantic songs in the 2010s.
Addressing the rumours in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the 45-year-old singer denied ever being in a romantic relationship with M.I.
“Because of the rollout and romantic theme of my collaborative song with M.I, One Naira, a lot of people speculated that we were dating. But we never dated. We were just friends who saw how great a love story in a song could be, so we created characters that would help drive the song.
“His then-girlfriend was even the one who did the voice-over, not me,” she explained.
Waje said she is currently single but won’t entertain an unsuccessful man, stressing that she is no longer in her 20s and doesn’t have the time to build with any man.
