Sports Journalist, Charles Anazodo has dragged popular musician Tiwa Savage to Twitter for failing to greet him.
In a tweet on Thursday, Anazodo called Tiwa ‘discourteous’ for not greeting him and a colleague.
His tweet read: “@TiwaSavage was a guest on @THEBEAT999FM earlier today, arrived and walked past @kallyjoe and I, and didn’t have the courtesy to say hello. I guess being a superstar gives you the right to be discourteous.”
The ‘49-99’ star however would have none of it as she fired back; “First of all I’m sure you saw me rushing to the studio because I was late for my interview plus I had a hat on, second I’m glad I didn’t say hi because who are you to think you can’t say hi first.”
Fans of both ‘stars’ have jumped into the fray.
Below are some of their reactions:
@BadmusAkeem
“Charles Anazodo has a point! Courtesy demands that you greet people you meet at a place you visit.
Tiwa Savage has a point! Rushing to interview will make anyone not remember to put on the right clothing accessories talkless of seeing everyone to greet on the road. Let’s talk!”

“I think this Charles Anazodo feeling entitled to get a hi from Tiwa savage first shows how unnecessarily egocentric Nigerian men can get.
Imagine calling out Tiwa of all people coz of ordinary greeting. Now imagine what people close to him must be getting from him on a reg.”

“How Tiwa Savage savaged Charles Anazodo.
A whole Charles Anazodo…. Most of you were on diapers when he became prominent at NTA.
Oh well…”
@MaziIbe_
“Expecting Tiwa Savage to greet you first because why?”
@ebelee_
“So at his ancestral age, he’s still coming on here to weep about Tiwa not greeting him ? Greeting ? You shouldn’t feel entitled to a greeting, regardless of your age or status.
Tiwa is a busy babe who has many things on her mind but it’s his greeting that’s most important ..abeg”

“If you know Tiwa Savage personally, you would discover that she is literally the sweetest person on the planet. Na over nice dey worry her sometimes for street self.

“On this issue with Charles Anazodo and Tiwa Savage, please and please NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING INCLUDING GREETINGS. If person no say hello my guy lock up and hustle for your family… See how Charles drag himself down to Bitter Leaf Twitter FC ??♂️??♂️??♂️”
@Zaddy_nomso
“What happened between Tiwa & Charles just shows how much the Older NG Folks are still entitled to Greeting & see it as Pride when you don’t greet. People have plenty things on their mind & might not notice you. We are adults & there are better things to worry about ?♂️”
@Chydee
“I saw Charles Anazodo in Russia last year; St Petersburg precisely. He passed me and didn’t have the courtesy to say hello (even though I didn’t say hello either). I guess being a superst … hold on. You see how ridiculous I sound right? Right? Good.”
@The_Nenye
“Lmao Charles Anazodo??!
You are calling someone discourteous???
You?????????
Wonders!”
@Dez_Report
“I think the point he’s trying to make is when you visit a place, it’s a polite thing to start greeting people you find there, even if they don’t greet you, greet them cos you’re the visitor. It’s basic common sense.
Besides that Charles Anazodo, World renowned Sports Journalist.”

“If I was Charles Anazodo, Tiwa passed and didn’t greet, and I am sure we have no previous beef.
Tiwa, sup with you girl. This wan you no greet us, we dey quarrel.
Case Close.”
@iamjudin1911
“Charles Anazodo was wrong by bringing the issue to social media.
He should have let the matter die in silence. Who greetings help?”
