“I don’t win awards because I reject sexual advances” – Yemi Alade

Published on

Yemi Alade, a well-known singer, has shared that although she has achieved significant success and recognition, she often does not receive awards in Nigeria.

She attributes this to her decision not to comply with requests from award show organizers for sexual favors.

The popular artist, known for hits like ‘Johnny’, revealed that numerous individuals in the entertainment industry have sought sexual advances from her, promising increased opportunities in return.

“There was a time in the industry when everyone wanted to sleep with me and it was like, ‘Yemi, if you don’t do this, you won’t have that. Today men are the reason I don’t win awards in Nigeria,” WithInNigeria quoted her as saying.

“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 sexual activities for gains, lots of opportunities were automatically blocked for me.”
