Despite her clear success and recognition, popular singer Yemi Alade has stated that she seldom receives accolades in Nigeria because she refuses to have sex with organizers.
The “Johnny” crooner revealed that she had previously been approached for sex by several Hollywood professionals who have promised her bigger prospects.
Since she still has her dignity and her adoring admirers, she stated she had no remorse declining their offers.
“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.”
