Singer Yemi Alade in a recent exclusive
with Hip TV has spoken on her Headies award,
competition in the Nigerian music industry and
her upcoming album Mama Africa.
“I finally have a Headies award. It’s time,
it’s high time I had a Nigerian award in my
house,” she said as she chuckled.

On whether she sees herself as an achiever in
the Nigerian music industry hence the need to
relax in her pursuits, she responded saying:
“No, the grind is different.
“If before the grind was on the street, the
grind is in the sky [now].
“Imagine walking against gravity and
everything against you. It’s different, it’s
deep.”
On the new strategies she intends adopting in
order to sustain relevance given her new status
in the music industry she explained:
“The strategy hasn’t changed. It’s still the
same thing, just a different magnitude.
“[We’ll] continue doing the simple things
we’ve always done and try to bring in the
extra, put God first and have a creative team.
Renew them, refresh them, that has been the
strategy, it hasn’t changed.”
She also laughed off talks about comparisons
between her and Mavin records super star Tiwa
Savage.
She rounds the interview off with talks of her
new album Mama Africa.
