Yemi Alade says she is as big as Wizkid and Davido
In an recent interview on Hot 98.3 Fm, Yemi Alade speaking on a range of issues sparked controversy when she claimed that there is no number one artist in the country, as she commands the same audience as the likes of Wizkid and Davido.
''What I have done with this kind of career that puts you in the limelight and keeps you vulnerable to everybody's opinion, is I just have to make sure my opinion is paramount, it is number one...
I respect everybody, we all inspire each other in this industry... there is actually no number one because your top five artistes in Nigeria that are the biggest in Africa can shut down the exact same capacity, the same capacity Wizkid holds down in Africa, I hold it down, the same capacity Davido holds down in Africa, I hold it down, the same venues, we all shut it down.
So there is no number one, and that is the truth but not everybody will agree to that, people will say Yemi shut up but that is the truth.. why don't we go ask the promoters, the people who know the numbers?'' She says.
This comments soon generated wild spread reactions on social media with mixed responses from a section of fans who supported her and others who thought she had an exaggerated view of her music.
