Yemi Alade, the renowned Afrobeat artiste affectionately referred to as Mama of Africa has shed light on the reasons behind her infrequent wins at award ceremonies.


She expressed that when she first started in the musical scene, all the men had wanted to sleep with her.


Her refusal to comply with such advances may have adversely affected her chances of receiving awards in Nigeria.


Alade expressed that a lot of times she is not nominated in award categories and that it largely has a lot to do with men.


Alade also stated her confusion that even though she is one of the most viewed and most subscribed Nigerian female artistes on YouTube, she still constantly feels overlooked by the award shows.
