How I Almost Lost Collaboration Deal With Beyonce-Yemi Alade

Nigerian music sensation, Yemi Alade, popularly known as Mama Africa has revealed how she almost lost out on her collaboration deal with Beyonce.

The gifted crooner was featured as a guest artist on Beyonce’s “Black Is King” visual album, a sequel to the 2019 Lion King:

Alade while recounting how she ignored the popular American diva’s email for two months said, “It wasn’t intended, and I could have lost out on the collaboration deal with Beyonce.

“We thought it was a scam email. I wasn’t the one receiving the emails, my management was and the thing is that, you have to be a crazy Beyonce fan like me to know her company’s name is Parkwood.”

“My manager was telling me that he keeps getting these messages from Parkwood. He sounded very irritated and he was thinking of maybe blocking the email and I asked him what did you say? Did you say Parkwood? I said that is Beyoncé.

“I had no idea what was coming. When we were done with the meeting, I went back to my apartment. I just woke up the next morning, I couldn’t talk, definitely could not sing. I had no voice, I pushed and I got something out of it.”
