Yemi Alade and Sarkodie Reconcile After 3-Year Feud

Popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has apologised to Nigerian superstar Yemi Alade over a misunderstanding they had back in 2017. And no, we’re not talking about the Jollof wars.

Apparently, Mama Africa and Sarkodie had a fall out when the songstress accused him of being unprofessional.

The duo had collaborated on Alade’s song Ego but the songstress accused the Ghanaian star of failing to show up for the music video shoot.

Ego was off Alade’s sophomore album, Mama Africa. In a 2017 interview, she revealed Sarkodie ignored her after she reached out for the song’s video shoot.

Here’s what she said in the interview:

“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’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 it 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.”

Sarkodie seems ready to put all this behind them as he shared Alade’s latest single with four-time Grammy award-winning Beninese songstress Angélique Kidjo.

Sarkodie shared the song on Twitter; this was when he realised that Alade wasn’t following him on the social media platform. He tweeted at her asking for a follow back while also offering an apology.

In his tweet, he asked that they don’t need explanations as this is 2020 and they should also link up. He wrote:

“Ou just realized queen unfollowed me… SarkNation, tell my sis to follow me back n I’m sorry ????. No need for no explanations it’s 2020 Link up ???? always proud of you ????”

Yemi Alade followed back Sarkodie as requested to the admiration of fans who praised her for her forgiving heart.

In a similar vein, Alade shut down talks of an unhealthy rivalry with sultry songstress Tiwa Savage. She not only attending Savage’s “Everything Savage” concert in December 2019 but also performed with her.

The two singers hailed each other as queens and hugged it out in the presence of thousands of admiring fans; thereby permanently shutting down rumours of a feud.
