Popular Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade has called out her female
colleagues in the industry for not helping each other in the music
business.
She blamed pettiness and their lack of vision for the small number
of ladies in the Nigerian music Industry. In her rant on snap, Yemi
Alade tried to encourage the female artistes to emulate their male
counterparts through cooperation.
‘Ladies can we just get together, respect each other and not put ourselves against each other’, the Mama Africa singer started.
“Because we put ourselves against each other that’s why the
whole world always put us against each other. I know about female
artists who when you want to feature them on an album they have to be
the only female artiste on that album. If they are not the only one on
the album they won’t feature, that is why we are so few. It’s so petty,
we are the cause of our downfall. Go and see the guys and see how they
are doing well and killing it, it’s by cooperation and division of
labour, we can’t do it alone”, Yemi Alade concluded.
