Afrobeats singer Yemi Alade has called out two popular media organisations, Cool FM and Clout Africa, for blacklisting her songs.
The singer alleged that the media organisations had consistently refused to play her songs since 2023 despite her attempts to apologise for not attending their event.
In a series of X (formerly Twitter), on Thursday, November 21, the Johnny crooner narrated what transpired and how the media organisation treated the matter.
“My God big pass your whole station @cloutafrica @CoolFMNigeria , keep on forming gatekeepers and taking my songs down. Na God be my label and management. we go meet for front. Fake people wey dey feel like small gods.
“My God will fight for me, and I will hold my peace. Since December 2023. I personally reached out in January. Still, you are refusing to play my music and give my team a hard time. You are not gatekeepers and you are not God, Mr Serge Noujaim and Mr Joseph Adamu. My God will frustrate you all. @coolfmlagos @cloutafrica,” she lamented in her tweets.
