The journalist wrote on Twitter, “In the wake of @TiwaSavage’s inclusion on @TIME’s list of the best albums of 2020 and the twitter storm she created, it feels like the right time for this opinion piece on her brand and the larger issue of ‘Mungo Parking’.”

In the article, Motolani described Tiwa’s recent inclusion in UK Time Magazine’s Best 10 Albums of 2020 as “Mungo Parking”, a term which means a feat achieved through “Paid promotion, misinformation and/or ignorance”.
Angered by the Editorial written by Motolani and published by Pulse, Tiwa Savage took to Twitter to call out the journalist and his media house.
She slammed Motolani by letting him know that his little son Jamal has made more money than him and the entire company he works for.
“??? you know how to diss out but you no fit take am when someone speaks up. Struggling brand ke. Even my son bagged more money than your whole company @OneMotolani @PulseNigeria247” she had tweeted.
Dragging him further, she reminded her of when he first came to interview her in her house and begged for a picture.
“Guy you came to my house to do interview then you asked for pictures. Bitch you are a fan. Fuck you @onemotolani ?” Tiwa Savage tweeted as she continued to drag him.
Meanwhile, Nigerians on Twitter have also taken to the platform to react the whole saga. Check them out below;

Completely unnecessary and unsuccessful takedown of the queen by @PulseNigeria247. @TiwaSavage is and will always be ahead of the pack in my eyes and millions of others. She is free to love whoever, champion whatever cause, and be promoted however she lives. Need topic ideas? 🙄

This article is so malicious and very unprofessional. This is not a review or a critic of her work but an attempt to pull @TiwaSavage down or create a perception burden for her. It is distasteful and very despicable. You guys can definitely do better. I know she can handle this.
