In a recent interview with Punch NG,
producer, Spellz revealed that the hit
song, Malo performed by Tiwa Savage and Wizkid was originally his own. The song
is widely believed to be a gift from Tiwa Savage to her husband, Tee Billz
following their reconciliation, but Spellz revealed that Tiwa Savage did not
have plans to release the song when she did.
In the interview, Spellz said;
“I did two songs on Tiwa’s
EP. Malo was originally my song that I planned to release this year.
So, when we wanted to put out her EP, she needed one more song. I was not in
Nigeria at that time and Tiwa was in New York too. It was difficult to work
together; so, I said we should add Malo to the EP.
“I saw it as our song since I
featured Wizkid and Tiwa on it. And without their efforts, the song wouldn’t be
made. I am not the type that holds on to things for too long. Since Tiwa liked
the idea, I spoke to Wizkid as well and he liked it too.”
He added that Malo was
the last song they did and the last song they put on the EP, but he knew it
would make a lasting impact upon its release.
