‘Johnny’ was released by mistake – Yemi Alade

​

In the short chat with Sunday Scoop, she disclosed that it has been a plus and has helped her connect easily.

You cannot underestimate the importance and role of tribes in Nigeria as it is taken very seriously. I am very proud of my heritage as an African and I try to portray in every way that I can and everywhere I go.

Being partly Yoruba and Igbo is a big plus for me as it has helped me to connect with both cultures. However, I believe that both cultures are inextricably intertwined because they share a lot of similarities

she said.

Yemi also stated that her first hit, Johnny was released by mistake.

She said,

I was in the studio with Selebobo and we were just goofing around trying to come up with a nice sound. The first line for the song just came out playfully and I continued. I never thought that it would become a hit and if not that the song was leaked, I may never have released it.
