I didn’t criticise BET out of malice – Yemi Alade

Delectable songstress, Yemi Alade, has stated the
reason she lashed out at the organisers of the
prestigious BET Awards. The singer said far from seeing
her action as a result of malice, she felt African artistes
deserve better.
“To be honest, we do not want to talk about the BET
saga again. The reason I voiced out was because I felt
Africans deserve better treatment; we put a lot of work
into our craft and we deserve to be celebrated like our
colleagues abroad. They should not just nominate
Africans and give us our awards in private, we should
also be celebrated and mix with our colleagues abroad.
Beyond the ceremony and party, mingling with our
colleagues at such events would also help us make
new friends.
“It would be funny for people to say that my remark on
social media was because I did not win the award.
That would be a very wrong thought. The
communication with them was not so pleasant. They
made it look as if they were doing us a favour. My
thought on whether I would be nominated again at the
BET Awards is very simple, God blesses and not man.
If God keeps blessing me, you cannot hate but join the
party,” she said.
