Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has finally spoken about long-standing rumours linking her romantically with rapper M.I Abaga.
The speculations began in the 2010s after the duo released several love-themed collaborations, including the hit track One Naira.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the 45-year-old singer clarified that she and M.I were never romantically involved.
“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,” she said.
Waje further revealed that M.I’s then-girlfriend, not her, voiced the female part in the track’s intro.
She also mentioned that she is currently single but not open to dating an unsuccessful man, adding that at her age, she doesn’t have the time or energy to “build with anyone.”
