Nigerian artiste Yemi Alade has revealed that she was disrespected by Sarkodie when she asked him for a collaboration sometime in the past.
According to her, the rapper rejected advances from her management team for a collaboration on so many occasions without giving any justifiable explanation. The Afro-pop singer was on the Starr Chat show Wednesday and registered her displeasure with the kind of treatment Sarkodie meted out to her.
She disclosed that she used to be a big fan of the Ghanaian rapper, but has since changed her opinion about him since he exhibited such an “unprofessional” attitude towards her.
“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,” she lamented.
“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.
“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.”
She added that she felt much disrespected by Sarkodie`s snub, especially after she tried to reach him on three different occasions after he performed a show.
She, however, pointed out that she is not looking for an apology from the BET winner, saying she`s “cool and not bothered at all”.
