Singer Yemi Alade took to Twitter to react to the Federal government’s directive to investigate why the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality show is shot in South Africa.
Lots of people have reacted, here’s Yemi Alade’s take. See tweets after the cut….
Eccentric and talented artist, Yemi Alade, always stands out when it comes to what she wears. Her fashion sense is daring and edgy, aside being adorable.
Representing Africa among a team of world class artists, put together by Shell for a project hash tagged Make The Future, Yemi Alade stood out in talent and style.
Here she is rocking a Wana Sambo monochrome outfit for the #makethefuture press conference in Nairobi.
The trend setter and goal getter is not trying to slow down at any point. From music to fashion, Yemi Alade soars in the heights of applaudable creativity. Here she is looking feisty in an Ankara made outfit. She posted the photos on her Instagram handle and urged her fans to look out for her performance video at coke studio.

The fader.com on an interview with eccentric Yemi Alade honoured her with the title, queen of Afrobeats. She was featured on the magazine website with lovely photos and an amazing impression of her art.
This is a quote from what was said about her:
Alade has achieved a kind of cult status worldwide, but in Africa she’s a bonafide superstar. Last year, she won Best Female at the MTV African Music Awards, her most recent album hit No.1 on the continent’s iTunes chart, and she was named an ambassador for Africa Fashion Week this past April. In a continent rich with numerous national and regional music scenes, the key to Alade’s success has been her ability to find connections between cultures through music. On her fantastic 2016 album Mama Africa she draws from Ghanaian highlife, Ivorian dance music style coupé-décalé, as well as American hip-hop and pop, in a sharpening of sounds she calls “afropolitan.”
As an artist from humble beginnings who releases on the small, independent label Effyzzie Music Group, Alade’s success is hard won. She had a brief brush with stardom after winning Nigeria’s Peak Talent Show in 2009, but her alternative point of view really started to shine through in her 2014 breakout single “Johnny,”which borrowed from afrobeats stars L.A.X and Wizkid’s playboy anthem “Caro,”but reworked the boys’ search for the perfect woman into a worldwide hunt for her straying lover. The track’s success — 52 million views and counting — allowed Alade to pinball off their fame and forge her own lane. With no plans to slow down, she’s following up the summer dance hit “Koffi Anan”with the fantastically fun video for “Tumbum,” premiering on The FADER today.
See lovely photos of her featured on the magazine website below:
Yemi Alade, self-acclaimed Mama Africa, beat Tiwa Savage to win the ‘best female artiste’ award at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2016.
The Effyzzie Music act is one of three ladies hosting the award ceremony after Trevor Noah, US-based South African comedian, pulled out over health issues.
To win the award, Yemi Alade fought off competition from Josey (Ivory Coast), Mz Vee (Ghana), Vanessa Mdee (Tanzania) as well as Mavin singer, Tiwa Savage,
While delivering her acceptance speech, Alade reacted to president Muhammadu Buhari’s controversial comments that his wife, Aisha, belongs to the kitchen and the other room.
“Women, don’t forget that we are not only good in the kitchen, living room and the other room — we are also good at anywhere we want to be”, she said.
The ‘Johnny’ singer is also the first female to be nominated for ‘artiste of the year’ category.
She also performed with Sauti Sol, Kenya group, winners of the ‘best group’ category.
And the norm says white girls can’t dance and I’m here wondering what went wrong here or whether these ones painted white on their body.
The choreography is totally off the hook and even Yemi Alade had to post it on her IG. Watch the dance on her IG post below:

Chidinma has slammed reports that she is copying Yemi Alade’s African hairdo. The musician who has been spotted wearing a new hairdo for a few weeks revealed the real reason for the style.
Chidinma who changed to a flamboyant thread style hair-do, revealed that the reason behind this hairstyle is to grow her hair after rocking a low cut for a few years now. She denied the rumours that her new hair style is a copy of one of Yemi Alade’s Afrocentric hairstyles.
