Years after Tiwa Savage recorded a verse for a remix that never reached fans, Victor AD has finally addressed the unfinished collaboration—and Tiwa’s response is all love.
Sometimes, the song that never drops can make headlines years later. Nigerian singer Victor AD has reminded fans of one such unfinished music story after publicly apologising to Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage over an unreleased remix of his hit song, Wetin We Gain.
Victor AD, whose real name is Victor Adere, shared an open letter to Tiwa on X on October 10, 2026. In the message, he thanked the singer for contributing a verse to the remix and admitted that he should have taken responsibility for how things turned out much earlier.
The apology was reported by Nigerian entertainment outlets on Sunday, October 11. But it was Tiwa’s calm response that gave the exchange its feel-good ending.
‘I Should Have Done This a Long Time Ago’
Victor AD did not pretend the situation never happened. Instead, he acknowledged the time that had passed and expressed appreciation for the effort Tiwa had put into the project.
Addressing her as “Mama Jam Jam,” the singer wrote that he should have apologised much earlier and thanked her for adding her voice to Wetin We Gain.
He also made it clear that, although he could offer explanations for why the remix was never released, he did not consider those explanations more important than the time, creativity and effort Tiwa had contributed.
“For that, I’m truly sorry about how things turned out,” he wrote.
It was a public acknowledgement of an unreleased collaboration—and an opportunity for Victor AD to express gratitude to a colleague whose contribution, by his own account, never reached the listening public in the form originally intended.
Tiwa Savage’s Response: ‘All Love’
If anyone expected the exchange to turn into a celebrity back-and-forth, Tiwa’s reply offered no such drama.
Responding to Victor AD’s open letter, she thanked him for reaching out and wrote: “I appreciate this. God knows the reason for everything. All love ”
Her response was brief, gracious and free of public accusations. She did not use the moment to criticise Victor AD or disclose any private discussions between them.
That is worth noting in an entertainment space where unresolved professional situations can easily become fuel for online speculation. In this case, what is publicly confirmed is simple: Victor apologised, and Tiwa responded positively.
Whether the two artists have discussed the matter privately is not established by their public exchange.
What Happened to the ‘Wetin We Gain’ Remix?
Victor AD’s Wetin We Gain, released in 2018, became a breakthrough record for the singer, helping introduce his music to a much wider audience. Its message about ambition, hard work and the desire to achieve more resonated with listeners.
The Tiwa Savage remix was intended to feature a verse from the award-winning singer. However, Victor AD’s recent letter confirms that the version featuring her contribution was never officially released. The public exchange does not establish the precise reason the project stalled.
There is also an older part of the song’s history. In 2019, Victor AD spoke about declining a proposed remix featuring Davido because he wanted to preserve the identity of the original record. He later collaborated with Davido on Tire You. That earlier decision is a separate episode and should not be treated as proof of why the Tiwa Savage version was shelved.
For now, fans have no confirmed release date for the Tiwa Savage remix, and Victor AD’s apology did not announce that the song would finally be released.
A Lesson in Accountability—or a Door Still Open?
Victor AD’s message was not an announcement of a new single. It was an acknowledgement of a past professional situation and an expression of appreciation for Tiwa Savage’s contribution.
His letter also praised her impact on Afrobeats and the opportunities she has helped create for other artists. That recognition was part of the message, alongside his apology.
Tiwa’s response, meanwhile, kept the exchange cordial. It is tempting to read more into celebrity interactions, but neither artist publicly described a feud, revealed a hidden dispute or confirmed plans to revive the remix.
Still, the moment raises a familiar question for music fans: how many promising collaborations have been recorded but never released? And when a project falls through, how important is it for artists to acknowledge the work their colleagues put in?
For listeners who remember Wetin We Gain, the unanswered question is whether the Tiwa Savage verse will ever be heard officially. Until either artist confirms a release, the remix remains an unreleased collaboration—not a confirmed comeback project.
WeGoTalk takeaway: Victor AD has said sorry, Tiwa Savage has responded with love, and the remix remains unreleased. For now, that is the story—without the rumours.
