When Optima Media Group (OMG), producers of Nigerian Idol launched the third season of the talent search show on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at a widely publicized media event held in Lagos, two prominent faces were absent – a judge Charly Boy and co-host Tiwa Savage.
While Charly Boy’s unavailability has been allegedly tied to loose ends in financial compensation package, there has no
news about why Tiwa Savage, season 2′s co-host is also not returning.
However, her reps have told NET that the singer is just too busy working on developing her career fully and trying to wrap up work on her album which is expected to drop before theend of this year.
‘It was difficult to combine with an increasingly time-consuming schedule. Nigerian Idol is something she will like to do again in the near future but not before she releases her new album amongst other things’, a rep from MAVIN Records, Tiwa’s label told NET.
The rep however says Tiwa ‘thoroughly enjoyed her time on the show’.
A rep for OMG tells us we should wait for the show to commence before making any conclusions.
‘Why don’t we wait till the season starts, then you can ask me’, Tiwa Medubi says.
Illrhymz will remain the solo host for the third season. Tiwa and Illrhymz took over as hosts of the second season in 2011 after Misi Molu and Anis Halloway had hosted the first season.
