Legit.ng captured some of the comments made by netizens as they tried to justify each other’s milestones.

@sirdavidbent argued that Tiwa is the mistress of vocal dexterity, just like her colleagues Omawumi, Waje, and Simi. But went on to insist that Tems stands out from all of them.

@wiz_ghigi: stated that Tiwa Savage is the queen of Afrobeats because famous artists don’t last long in the industry, and rounded up her statement by tagging Tems as the princess of Afrobeats.

@furioussuoerfly furiously added to the argument by saying no one should ever compare Tiwa Savage to Tems.

@dhavidote, without giving reasons, said that God would not forget those who have compared the two artists.
