Waje Clears Up Dating Rumours With M.I

Nigerian singer Waje has finally cleared the air about rumours that she once dated rapper M.I.

Fans had guessed at a romance after the pair collaborated on several love-themed songs in the 2010s.

Many thought the on-screen chemistry in the music reflected real-life feelings.

Waje has now confirmed there was never any romance.

She and M.I were just friends who used music to tell a story.

In fact, M.I’s then-girlfriend contributed to one of their songs, proving the love story in the music was only for the audience.

Now 45 and single, Waje says she is selective about her relationships.

She has little patience for men who are not serious about building a future.

Her statement finally puts to rest years of speculation, showing that what fans imagine is often very different from reality.

Due to the romantic nature of my song with M.I, One Naira, many people assumed we were in a relationship. However, we were never a couple. We were simply friends who recognized how compelling a love story in a song could be, so we developed characters to bring the song to life. His girlfriend at the time even recorded the voice-over, not me.
