Yemi Alade struggled before getting her breakthrough. The 35-year-old singer is one of the great songstress on the African continent after serving her fans with hits after hits over the years.
The songwriter has revealed how men wanted to sleep with her before giving her the opportunity to even exhibit her potential.
“There was a time in the industry when everyone wanted to sl££p with me and it was like, ’Yemi, if you don’t do this, you won’t have that’’, Yemi said.
Women have been complaining worldwide about men trying to have romantic affairs with them before employing them. It is now norm in every sector and Yemi Alade is no different from the other women who have suffered.
“Going down with men was like a bridge I had to cross to get on some platforms, get some deals and even awards.
“When I made my decision never to engage in ‘sxxual’ activities for gains, lots of opportunities were automatically blocked for me”, added Alade.
The Abia born was not considered for even awards because she refused to let men enjoy her.
“Ask yourself why Yemi Alade who is the most viewed and most subscribed Nigerian female artiste on YouTube gets almost no recognition from award shows year after year. Even during twitter debates, no one mentions Yemi Alade as one of the biggest female artistes in Nigeria. They really blocked everything for me. But I’m glad coz I have my dignity, I have my life, I’m making cool cash and above all, I have fans who love me so much…” concluded Yemi.
Yemi Alade is the most viewed and most subscribed Nigerian female artiste on YouTube and it is very surprising that upon all the fame and numerous followers and views, she has not been considered for awards and other recognitions.
The Afropop and RNB super star is know for hit tracks like Johnny, Koffi Anan, Bum Bum, How i feel, Elele and Nakupenda among so many popular songs.
