Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade is not having a great time and has thus let all hell loose on critics in the Nigerian music industry.
The ‘Johnny’ crooner noted that the so called critics lack in-depth knowledge of her critics and would not be as thorough in analysing and criticizing lyrics from male artistes in the industry.
In a Snapchat video by the actress, she said: “I don tire for all this self-acclaimed critics in this Nigeria. They don’t do any form of research, they don’t listen to the artistes’ songs, then they just say sh-t.
“I’m sorry for some people that call themselves critics oh. Hmmm, I’m smiling to the bank, you’re not. Be there questioning my lyrics but you would not question the lyrics of the boys.
“I’m upset about this kind of thing, I just really think that people don’t know when they’re actually being biased gender wise. They don’t know when they’re trying to pick on females.
Enough is enough, y’all just shut up! You’re going to really be checking people’s lyrics and you’re going to be a so-called critic as you call yourself then please make sure you check the guys’ lyrics too. Don’t be on no female’s case, who are you?!”

U guys aint a fan nd u still wanna comment, fuck u all. Nd pls come nd sip some sense
You sentimental foolish bastard ..that was why you lashed out on a successful lady out of your cave-men reasoning ….
Am not surprised you tagged my profile picture irresponsible that’s because you don’t know what fame is and I can’t make you understand too …your pathetic broke life is just overwhelming and I can’t go on and on trying to make you and your fellow cave-men embrace reality and mind your business ..for now go update your sense of reasoning ,then come back and I will be waiting to give you more of what I have been giving you ,,,#thehardbittertruth
In her job people criticize which is normal, dont be a celeb freak delude prat. Most of her lyrics are meaningless anyways.
People can’t do what she does that’s why they freaking paid their hard end money for it and they have the right to demand their money worth. If she’s smiling to the bank her fans should also feel good listening to her freaking music. It’s only in Nigeria these celebrities say trash about people who patronize them and still smile to the bank
Hmmmm
Am looking for my journey
No body is above criticism as far as life is concerned
For heaven sake guys pls stop all of these insults yemi alade no send nobody all dis. You mean you guys insult one of their own in dis manner? Yemi alade shouldn’t have blasted anyone cos she couldn’t have sing her music and buy dem herself, and dnt expect everyone to love you if you like do all the good in this world people must criticise you. As for me I love her music cos is not easy to write a song talk less of giving it lyrics. And I think insult are manufactured in Nigeria cos our insult are world class type.
Kudos.
It’s ur money and not ours, if u like cry to the bank…ur lyrics are not edifying the society daz y dey die in a year or few while good lyrics are still being referred to!
Correct!
My dear, the lyrics are always d same and rubbish….if she’s not looking for Johnny, she’s looking for who will buy her Ferrari
Funny thing is without the fans you are nothing…you’re smiling to the bank because of the fans abi na goat dey listen to your music…they have the right to demand something better,you’re in the music business because of them,stop talking like you got no sense.
Ur right on this one bro, don’t mind thr myopic minds
With her insignificant lyrics….lol
This our stars ehn…look at her bragging that she’s smiling to the bank,her mates abroad give back to the community to show love and humility,the best our stars do here is to call the media and show how they are presenting indomie and cabin biscuits to the less previlaged. After the Olympics,Usain bolt gave millions of USD to his community. This is worth emulating rather than showing off a brand new iphone7 worth 400k to the public. Our stars need to show humility and exhibit sagacity in trying times like this.
dont mind ha, common sense not common @ all #lolz
is she truely above eighteen?
B4 da fame….humility….after….Fame Pride, disrespect and no regard for those who took u dia abi?
No matter how good people must criticize you. Don’t be dumb by calling fans dumb.
Music is not a career dat stay long after 5yrs to come now i imagine who will know whether u exist. Most expecially dose u produce meaningless music like u, many musician has came nd gone.
My dear tell her
No mind dem Jor keep smiling… Tatafo ppl mtcew
Ur fall is eminent as long as you are now abusing your sustainer’s
Don’t mind them
U are the dumb one, don’t worry the dumb Nigerians go soon kill ur career.
Yea girl! They’re broke and jobless that’s why they can stay and beef. After dropping hateful comments, they’ll go home and have sleep for dinner, lol!
Yemi I am one of ur faithful fan but with dis insolence & irrational statement from u I withdraw my commitment, I can’t be a fan to an ingrate.
EXACTLY
Lol
She is a good Singer but all the song she release after who see your Jonny, to me is a flop you need more work to do my sister
Don’t worry boy girl ur distruction is near just like Sodom and Gomorrah
Thats right tell them dear
If we don’t criticize ur music or lyrics Dat means we don’t love you. We only do that for you to sit up.. And remember without your fans… YOUR nothing.. Pls be reasonable..
If you are not a gud entertainer,you should consider your fans first before your words,if de fans thoughly becomes dumb will you listen to your songs alone,as an entertainer You should know very well by now dat not all will like your songs,you are not de first settingly will won’t be de last,all de best gal I like your style
Pls learn hw 2 talk in public wat u did is pride very dangerous
Yemi alade pls don’t mind them u are my idol.your lyrics are cool
My friend shut up, who cares if your weeping to the bank, your lyrics suck. If you’re not looking for johnny, you’re looking for who will buy you Ferrari. And you call that lyrics, of course you’ll get cash from your career no one is denying that. All I know is that ur lyrics are so fucking poor, go work on yourself and stop insulting your fans. Thank goodness I ain’t one of them
Well said, sister.
Thunder fire u there Christy Okunbor stupid hopeless fans
Ezerioha Paul . You mean like doctor’s prescription. 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night
Christy Okunbor I’m crying for you, if you check my playlist you will never see Yemi’s song. Take a chill pill outdated low life bitch
Mary Elom that true u are ryt
Mary u are on point, @Christy is just a celeb freak
Fuck off”#wat dat her name, christy r not matured enough to talk wen people r talking OK..
She is smiling to the bank, who she EPP?
Very well said
Who care to know if u are
Lol.. I am happy for this comment and sub comments. Some celeb freaks be like; jealousy jealousy jealousy…. If you are fan, tell her to learn how to talk to the public. All she should have done was to thank God for the success, and thank her fans that buy her music. Not boasting about her music that the lyrics actually don’t convey any reasonable meaning. Can her song last a decade?
Buh wait a minute , don’t u guys think that could be fabricated on the media ….and some babes are here subbing and smiling at Yemi’s headache and cross . its kinda funny ….
Lilian u just spoke my mind
Hahahahhaahahhahhajahahahhhahaahaaahhh which one be thunder fire person like doctor prescription.
Buhari got Nigerians brain twerking… They see everyone as a mistake. Lol
I like some of your music,,but that is a wrong statement..you may lose some of your fan. except you apologize to them..is like fame as gotten into you.
But if you have a career you don’t have to be rude and insult your fans like that even if you have money. Silent is the best medicine.you will regret one day
You be mumu
Tell them my 6
U are not suppose to call ur fans dumb,cos without dem der won’t be u!u are suppose to work harder on improving ur music/lyrics.u are suppose to create an avenue whereby u can research to know what ur audience want,d flops in ur music, den try to improve,and not to be bragging… No wori,by d time all d dumb fans stop patronising u,we wil see if u wil still be smiling to d bank or smiling to d street/bush.
U are right my sister
Do You Now Tell Us You Sing To Your Own Satisfaction.
U try joor
Tell them ooo…they mustn’t like your kind of music… What matters most is that your talent and style has brought you this far where many of those who are insulting your songs haven’t reached…ride on my sister… D lord is your muscle
who cares? if you like weep nd crawl to d bank…its ur business!
Lol
Dis one never even start…Don dey proud…that’s y human beings tire me…wetin dis idiot dey claim now? Who she epp? Mtcheww
My sister she never see nothing, she never even start
She isn’t insulting her FANS but her CRITICS!!! There’s a difference between those bold lettered words!!!Nigerians go to school!!!…she’s the 4th best vocalist in Nigeria and she’ll keep smiling to the bank because many other African countries love her even more than Nigerians. And she’s got meaningful songs I don’t know why people are just hating.hating doesn’t stop her from being Africa’s best for now.
Her fan can still criticise her…her music lyrics sucks
A loyal fan doesn’t criticise… Her songs make sense at times…e.g na gode,mama(a collabo) e.t.c
That’s does not mean she is infallible, she still stand a chance to be criticised and corrected, she should learn how to correct her self when criticised and not holding grip to her own infallible wisdom
That means u dont know meaningful songs , she stil de look 4 Johnny and Ferrari
Emma Teaknos Tosin I know good songs and I also know she has meaningful songs too Ezerioha Paul when you want to criticise someone,do it with respect(even if she’s younger or older) cos I’ve seen critics do that in arrogant ways.
nwa teacher@ #funmilayoChinagolumVivian no wonder y u hv no common sense bearing two different tribal names together ,lemme ask u are u yoruba or ibo?
imagine autistic person urging nigerians to go to school as if she knws all
Like hell she dose…And u should let her know @ Funmilayo Chinagolum Vivian that she needs both fans and critics since u r her solicitor general all am saying is if u don’t get criticized dan u r not human since she’s human living on human space ie earth she should well come open criticism. ..
She has to welcome it matter fact dats how u know u r matured and progressing…..in da industry and u must not necessarily answer every critic
Godswill E Noble I can’t give a straight answer to retards like you cos you’ll never comprehend… Others before and after you replied like brainy people while you replied like a retard.jeez.
Mrs.Sophia Ogezi you’re absolutely right but she’s human…she must have been pushed way too hard to this extent
Hoha!
You suck!!! If called to perform on stage,which of your dumb singles will you perform? Johnny or stupid Ferrari that you lost track on along the line? Look at how you disgraced yourself at AMVCA earlier this year by combining Shit Ferrari and dumb Johnny.Flavour took the stage from you with his Sexey Rosey and you saw the reactions of the fans.That’s what we called ”Giving to them what they paid for”. Gosh!!! I hate your singles.If you want your career to last a bit more,avoid Selebobo like a plague cos you both re sinking together.
Lolz, i couldnt agree more
Haba Yemi! You’re bigger than this
They revile your name and your music because you’re somebody in the society. Had it been you’re nobody they won’t criticise you. You need to have this at the back of your mind. Continue to do your thing.
She’s doing it her way so what?
Tell dem ooooo…… Nigerians criticize too much dats my problem wit dem
U pple should go and sing u talk too much

Jealousy is route of hatred

If I was the presenter when you were saying this rubbish I’ll give you a dirty slap we are the fans who listen to your songs we have right to demand for we want…not that “buy me ferarri” shit you are singing… mugu. House for banana island olodo…
Abi o meaningless song
yemi alade..have I heard of her?
You are a full you should even thnk them to you point out the errors so you can work to improve in the area
If she truly say that dat means she’s a fool coz we make who she is…
I like u but u must be stupid to say this, if people are still criticizing 2baba, Dbanj, Wizkid and Davido with all their achievement, what are u then. To be fair most of ur lyrics are meaningless.
My dear, let them say.
Keep smiling to the bank while they criticize you.
Na you biko.
Ur swaga dripy mi..#jennifertune#
If you like me you go buy me ferrari or pay me salary. You be ashhhhhhh????? Must it be all about money. You sell your body! Huh!
If you like be weeping to the bank,fact is that its not your music that is taking you to the bank and you know it
if you don’t know Mr Sylvester haven’t buy or play Nigeria music in his mansion #whatapity
Dnt mind them ok
Is that a compliment or what. Feeling too special# nor doooooo be humble is the best
Nigeria is a country were talent is not appreciated, that have always known,criticizing Wat u can’t even do wen given d opportunity is baseless. but d fact still remains that weda u kill her carrier or not she’ll never run to any of u for help, she’s already made.
Brown barbie
What da heal is wrong with this lady? Those that sing reasonable songs are still criticized not to talk of your senseless songs….mumu.
Temple, take it easy naaa. Biko
My Oga no mind Yemi, even legend 2face, P square, Asa, etc, pple still dey criticized them and dey never in reacted stupidly to their fans.
Na pride dey worry her
Na the pride go finish her ooo
Its only in Nigeria that person manage music . I particularly watch ur music cos it among the selection of different music artist and urs happens to be among them by mistake.
Seriously I don’t like her music, its not jealousy……. she is only a good dancer
Tell them o jare… #Beefwithoutcause
Hohohoho… I laugh in Latin.
Seriously,are lyrics makes no sense to me.she screams alot n it doesn’t even make sense
Na her mouth oooo, funny enough am not a fan of Nigerian music, but Yemi mind you without the fans and critics ur nothing. Twale for 2baba
How much u get?
My dear smile to the bank joor..i got your back
Without people there will be you God got ur back
Rude of you to call fellow Nigerians dumb.
It should not be all about money, don’t get me wrong , try and improve
Which bank are u smiling to? And how much is there? Pride goes before a fall. Go and learn more about music and humility. Bush geh.
you are smiling to the bank? who cares afterall, that you are rich na for your house it ends. some women no get sense at all!
U ar smilling to the bank buh i tell u sometin most people who listen or dance to ur music are far richer than u buh d funny tin is dat u go to the bank after evwi show while d pipu u say are dumb go to d bank evwiday
So what makes you different from a drug pusher after wards they’re smiling to the bank also?
Nigerians please change your mentality cherish wat u have
Some people lik her music regardless. Leave her alon biko. As fr her smiling to the bank that’s business, not everyone smiles to the bank na choice
Point of correction, they are not dumb. Everybody have his/her choice in life…. if you think everybody will like what you do then you are the dumb here not those that dislike your music. Concerning smiling to the bank, I think everybody have their own means of smiling to the bank also. Besides, you are not feeding anybody but yourself and your family. Next time think before you come on air to vomit this type of nonsense ok.
@George help me tell am o

Point of correction, you should be thanking God for where you are today, instead of blasting, dnt also forget that without ur fans you won’t be able to stand dis beautiful today” and am very sure no one will want to purchase a Cd plate and will” say because yemisi alade is de I won’t get dis Cd. It doesn’t make sense to abuse at all. As for me I like ur songs a lot and I also dance to ur steps too. #prayForAllYourFansIncludingTheHaters. And God will continue to bless and lift u up. Note that not everyone are meant to like you weather you do good or bad.
Shallom.
