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

Singer, Yemi Alade, revealed that despite her significant success and fame, she seldom receives awards in Nigeria. She attributed this to her refusal to comply with organizers’ requests for sexual favors.

She disclosed that many entertainment executives have made such requests, promising her better opportunities in return. However, she expressed no regrets in declining these offers, valuing her dignity and the support of her fans instead.

“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.”
