Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has revealed that she’s no longer a fan of Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie because he disrespected her multiple times.
According to the singer, she agreed three separate times to meet Sarkodie and his team to work on some music but each time, Sark agreed to come but then did not show up.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starrchat, she said those actions were really disrespectful and she lost her esteem for Sarkodie after that.
“I’ve really tried my best to really not go into details but the long and short on why I don’t want to dwell on this is that is super unfair, unprofessional and unkind for international acts or even artistes to have a dealing with anybody and after agreeing to certain things, you don’t come through at all.. I can count three different countries and three different venues where my team and I had an agreement with the artiste (Sarkodie) in particular and he didn’t come through.” she said.
“I don’t want to bring in the feminine and masculine inequality we’re experiencing in the industry and I don’t want to link it to that. I was pained as a person but I’ll say it is almost impossible to promote a project that is supposed to be for two people when the other party isn’t coming through at all, the music pretty much suffers,”
Commenting further, Alade said Sarkodie never apologized for his actions but she has moved on from them, except she’s no longer a fan of his music.
“He didn’t get back to apologise, but I’m cool and not bothered at all. I tried three times, is it enough. We sort of like found ourselves in same location in America, UK and in South Africa and anytime we always got thumbs up but the moment we step out of that box to get things done and probably link up at the agreed point, it never happened, It was gross unprofessionalism as far as I’m concern and I really don’t want to talk about it because I’m like it’s over and done.
“…I don’t listen to his music, no more fan of him… I only work with artistes I’m a fan of. I’m just not a fan of him anymore.”
