Being Africa’s best female artiste certainly has its own perks and privileges. Johnny crooner, Yemi Alade has earned her first ever special invite to attend this year’s edition of the illustrious Grammy Awards ceremony and she’s still stunned.
It’s all the way up for Yemi Alade as nothing seems to stop the top Nigerian singer. She’s had a stellar 2016 so far, from dropping back to back hits, to finally releasing her sophomore album and to wining a second consecutive Africa Best Female award – no female has ever one the award two times in a row before; not even Tiwa Savage!. To further cement her spot, she still won the Best Female award at the maiden Soundcity MVP awards festival a few days ago.
Yesterday, the Johnny singer took to her Twitter to reveal that she has received her first ever invitation to music’s biggest night – the 59th annual Grammy Awards ceremony holding in the United States in February 2017.
This comes moments after Nigerians trolled the singer over the kind of lyrics she writes. While some insist her music is ‘wack’, some praised the two-time MAMA Best Female award winner.
Now, she will be live at the Grammys and many fans hope this is a good step in the right direction – soon, their queen will bag the first biggest nomination.
