Why Is Tiwa Savage Mad At TW Magazine?

Tiwa Savage, TW Magazine
Mavin Records diva, Tiwa Savage is angry! That is official.  And it’s because a few days ago, A local magazine, TW Magazine, gave her the honor of gracing their front page (displayed above), but failed to review her debut album, (Once Upon A time) properly.
The Pop singer was so angry, that she called to express her disappointment with the article, and she was placated. But it appears the singer wasn’t ready to let the story drop, so she called them out publicly on twitter. See her tweet below.

But why was Tiwa so mad, that she had to call them, and shame them in public?
We hunted down the review from the magazine, and this is it below.
‘Once Upon A Time opens with a Disney-inspired fairy tale account of Tiwa Savage’s relationship with her manager Tunji ‘T-Billz’ Balogun. Wanted, potent and upbeat reggae track, works as a great opener. Her lower register mode of singing works on Ileke, – a roll call for females to shake their booty – but fails miserably on others like Ejim Afia and Baby Mo.
Tiwa Savage is first and foremost, an RnB artiste and she doesn’t hide in her natural comfort zone on quite a number of tracks, such as Olorun Mi, Middle Passage and Get Low. Her foray in pop music isn’t a total disaster, her Kele Kele and Love me x3 are exquisitely crafted pieces but the subtle Folarin fails to blow the mind. With 21 songs, one has to dig deep to find the real substance with too many fillers, too much auto-tune and too much Don Jazzy. However for a debut album, it’s a commendable effort’.
What do you think? Was it factual, or wrong? Was Tiwa Savage wrong to get mad? Did the reviewer do something wrong?
