Singer Yemi Alade has slammed critics who focus on her love life and bring up all sorts of conversation on who she’s dating and whatnot.
The entertainer has been alleged to be romantically involved with a number of Nigerian celebrities including Alex Ekubo and Phyno.
In some circles, she is also believed to be in a sizzling affair with her manager Taiye Aliu, but she has come out to defend herself saying that her relationship is her private life and she prefers to keep it as private as it should be.
In a recent interview with E247 Magazine, the Ferrari singer said:
“Yes, I am in a relationship, but I prefer to keep it private, no too much talk about it.”
She spoke further: “Besides, who I’m dating doesn’t put money in anyone’s account, so?”
On how she’s managed to stay scandal-free and the strategies she adopts, she said:
“I don’t go out looking for trouble. I am pretty reserved and that has gone a long way for me, maybe that is why people say Yemi Alade is scandal free.”
In recent years, Yemi has risen from relative obscurity to the forefront of Nigerian entertainment with several hit songs such as Johnny, Tangerine and the recently released Ferrari off her latest album Mama Africa.
She has also held strong views about the empowerment of females especially in the Nigerian society.
In her words, she believes in females rising to the top in chosen endeavours and she does not care if this makes her appear like a feminist.
In a recent interview with Vanguard, she said:
“No woman is living on an island with only females; if being a feminist means I strongly believe that the girl child can do just as well as the male child, then call me a feminist.
“But if that’s not it, then I’m not that.
“I believe that there is that struggle for the females but I don’t believe that because of that struggle we should be sleeping at our posts.
“So when you see the challenge, you rise above it; so any woman that is seeing this challenge and sitting at home and crossing her legs, she has decided to fail. Not my business.”
Yemi Alade is a multi award-winning Afro Pop singer. Her new album Mama Africa dropped in 2016 and has been greeted by mixed reviews.
