Yemi Alade accuses Lagos radio station of blacklisting her music’

Published

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has accused Lagos-based radio stations Cool FM Nigeria and CloudAfrica FM of blacklisting her music following her absence at their event.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the 35-year-old artist explained that she was invited to perform at Cool FM’s December 2023 event but couldn’t attend. She said she reached out afterward to apologize, but her efforts were reportedly ignored.

According to Yemi, the station’s managers, Mr. Serge Noujaim and Mr. Joseph Adamu, allegedly held her absence against her, resulting in a near-year-long blacklist of her songs on Cool FM and CloudAfrica FM.

“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 form gatekeepers in 2024,” she wrote.

She expressed shock at how her entire music catalogue was reportedly removed from the stations’ playlists, barring DJs from playing her songs, old or new.

“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 added.

Yemi further accused the stations of intimidation and acting unfairly. “The common decency to reach out and clear up any misunderstanding caused by sheer carelessness on your part for a whole year, and your next move is to place an embargo on my songs? Remove my whole catalogue,” she continued in another post.

Her claims have sparked discussions online, with fans and industry observers questioning the alleged power dynamics and fairness in the entertainment space.

My life got better after Mohbad’s death — Singer’s father

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer, Ilerioluwa, aka Mohbad, has revealed that his life got better after the death of his son.

Aloba revealed this in an interview with a media personality, Akin Abolade, popularly known as Mrlilgaga, on Wednesday.

“Let me just say yes, my life got better after Mohbad’s death because he is my friend. He had it in plan to do many things for me but they didn’t allow him to do them.

After his death, it was the spirit of Mohbad, and that of God combined together that began to send people to assist me.

“Even the car and everything I have now, it was people that gave them to me and it is beyond ordinary. So it is the spirit of Mohbad and God that led those people to give me all I have now.

“Those were the things he was meant to be doing for me, but they didn’t allow him to do them,” he added.

Clarifying insinuations towards those accused, Mohbad’s father noted that he was laying emphasis on his son’s wife (Wunmi) and her family, adding, “They did a lot concerning that boy (Mohbad).

All his landed property is in their possession. Even the land he bought for me to build a church, I forced him to buy and mold the blocks on it, which was later used to bury him.

“Two weeks before his death, he took me to the house he wanted to buy and told me he was going to buy it after the completion of his tour, for which I know he had completely paid.”

He also said the birth of Mohbad led him to become a singer after the money from the naming ceremony was stolen, stressing that his late son became a backup singer for him at the age of one.

Aloba mentioned that he is a carpenter, singer, and pastor, although he does not have a church. He added that his son had promised to build one for him before his death.

The father toured his new block industry with the media personality, showing his new truck and Toyota Highlander vehicle gifted to him by Nigerians who were compassionate about his son’s death.

He also revealed that he has released about nine tracks since the death of his son.

On 11 September 2023, MohBad died in Lagos at the age of 26.

A nurse who was reported by his spouse to have administered a Tetanus vaccine to him was arrested and found to be an unlicensed nurse on 19 September 2023 by the Lagos State Police Command.
