Months after parting ways with Davido’s DMW label, singer Liya has shared her top three favourite artistes, leaving her former boss off the list.
In an interview, Liya named Olamide Badoo as her number one, appreciating his leadership and the depth she has seen beyond the spotlight.
She also included Tiwa Savage, calling her a strong and inspiring figure, and rounded off her list with Burna Boy, praising his energy and commanding stage presence.
Her exclusion of Davido has sparked reactions online, with many noting the contrast between their past working relationship and her current ranking.
Liya, whose real name is Abdulsalam Suliyat Modasola, was born in Lagos and studied Yoruba Language and Linguistics at the University of Ilorin.
