In a heartfelt interview with Chude Jideonwo, the My Padi crooner shared that her dream wedding would take place “on one coded island like that,” far from the public eye and the noise of fame.

“This industry is already a lonely place. I’m not about to live my actual life lonely,” Yemi said with a soft laugh, hinting that love and companionship are next on her journey after years of career triumphs.

Reflecting on her rise to stardom, Yemi Alade spoke passionately about building her Mama Africa brand from the ground up — without waiting for validation or hand-me-down opportunities.

“I didn’t need the stars ahead of me to hand me a baton. I made my own lane. There’s space for me,” she said, her words echoing the determination that has defined her decade-long career.

Yemi also revealed the grit behind her glamour, recalling her early days when she performed at more than 300 free shows just to make a name for herself.

“I didn’t do the norm. Word on the street says you need one Western collaboration before you blow, but I didn’t,” she said, smiling.

Known for her electrifying performances, bold fashion, and cultural pride, Yemi Alade has remained one of Africa’s most recognisable voices — embodying strength, creativity, and authenticity.
