A popular Nigerian Twitter user, Dr. Penking, has unveiled Afrobeat singer Yemi Alade’s purported strategy for cashing out at AFCON. Following the announcement that Yemi Alade, alongside Magic System and Mohamed Ramadan, will headline AFCON 2023, Dr. Penking shared insights into her approach.
According to Dr. Penking, Yemi Alade is a ‘smart money woman’ who strategically plans her involvement with AFCON. Allegedly, she enters the studio every two years before the tournament to create a new single celebrating Africa. This consistent effort, as suggested, endears her to AFCON organizers, who then choose her to headline the opening ceremony, earning her a substantial payment.
Dr. Penking’s perspective hints at Yemi Alade’s calculated moves in aligning her music with the continental football tournament, resulting in recurring opportunities to showcase her talent and be financially rewarded.
Yemi Alade has indeed become a regular headliner at AFCON events, leveraging her musical prowess and connection to the celebration of African culture.
In related news, Yemi Alade recently responded to a fan’s attempt to compare her with Tiwa Savãge, emphasizing the importance of supporting and celebrating both artists. Additionally, the singer expressed her commitment to Nigeria despite acknowledging the country’s challenging conditions, and she celebrated a significant career milestone when she performed live without makeup for the first time.”
