Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has accused Cool FM Nigeria and CloudAfrica FM, two popular Lagos radio stations, of blacklisting her for missing their event.
In a post on X,Yemi Alade shared that Cool FM invited her to perform at their December 2023 event, but she was unable to attend.
She said she reached out to apologize but was ignored. According to her, the managers of Cool FM and CloudAfrica FM held her absence against her, leading to her music being blacklisted on their platforms for almost a year.
"Mr Serge and Mr Joseph, this life is not hard like that. WE SEE YOU… I SEE YOU @cloutafrica @CoolFMNigeria. This world is a small village. My God will fight for me… Una dey forms gatekeepers in 2024”, she wrote.
She expressed her shock at how her entire music catalogue was removed from the station’s playlist, meaning that no one at their station could play her songs, whether past or present.
“Since December 2023, I personally reached out in January. You are still refusing to play my music and giving my team a hard time. You’re not gatekeepers, and you are not God, Mr. Serge Noujaim and Mr. Joseph Adamu,” she stated.
