Fans react as Wizkid refuses to hold Tiwa Savage's yansh

The last time he made headlines was when Nigerian singers and fan favourites, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, got fans talking on social media after they gave a steamy performance during a concert in Abuja.

The two were spotted performed their hit song, Malo. During the steamy performance, the two could not keep their hands off each other like they usually do.

However, the moment that got fans talking on the popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter, came when Tiwa Savage bent her yansh to Wizkid and asked him to touch it.
