Most people do not know that Johnny Crooner Yemi Alade almost quit music ‘many, many times.’ But her perseverance and hard work finally paid off as she is now one of the most recognised female entertainers on the continent. She also revealed those she admires in the Nigerian music industry in a recent interview with NET.
“Ohh yeah, many times, many times I wanted to take a job, many times I wanted to take a white collar job that will take me 24/7 everyday in a week. There were times I just wanted to stop this music of course.” she said.
Asked who she admired in the entertainment industry, she answered: “I definitely admire Tiwa Savage, she is definitely one of the females who came up and changed the game, by being different and I also admire Cynthia Morgan as well, because she also came up with something different. For the male singers, P-Square is top on my list because of their resilience because of their lengthy stay in the industry, their work ethic, their accomplishments and everything about P Square is very worthy of admiration. I also admire Don Jazzy for not stopping even when the world thought it was over for him, he gave birth to something new, refreshing and lasting, The Mavin dynasty. I also admire Banky W because of what he stands for musically in Nigeria.”
