Nigerian singer, Flavour, has in a new interview with Encomium Magazine clarified his relationship with BBA the Chase winner Dillish. Their recent cozy pictures which both parties shared on Instagram had sparked rumours that they may be dating after Dillish's ex boyfriend Stephen confirmed they were no more together. But Flavour says his relationship with Dillish is purely professional, at least for now. Flavour said: "It's just a professional picture. For now there is nothing between us.

We are not kids and if there is something between us, why hide it? It's strictly professional for now." Gist Arena
