Afropop singer, Yemi Alade who is currently touring the United States has lamented over the travails of performing in the country. The Johnny singer in her Instagram stories said people do not know that performing in the US doesn’t pay what Africa pays.
According to her:” Not everyone knows the US entertainment doesn’t pay up to ¼ of what Africa pays. It’s almost non-profit. We always have hotel rooms but we end up using them to store our luggage. So where do we sleep or rest? We sleep during our flights, it’s frustrating”.
However, some of her fans who misconstrued her rants have urged her to quit, If it’s not working .
“Who send you madam? Your songs are wack so I’m sure a lot of people realized that the ticket money is a waste so they didn’t bother to buy.. Anyone that would insult me is crazy” Shanaub said.
Ayomide wrote:” If something is taking more than what its giving you, you stop doing it, no need to complain”.
A certain Valentine made reference to what Olamide said in one of his tunes. Hear him:” What do you think Olamide meant in “prayer for client” when he said “3 million for ibadan don do me..500K UK e no do me…..Mi o like fake life, mi o like fake time”
