Yemi Alade fires at BET for allegedly 'undermining Africa'

By
Amidst all the hype surrounding the BET Awards, hosted on June 28 in Los Angeles, Yemi Alade has lashed out at organizers of the event, accusing them of "undermining Africa", Naij reports.

After being nominated in the Best International Act (Africa) category at the prestigious event, the Johny hitmaker took to her Instagram account to express her frustration at the way the event was organised.

According to the post, Alade posted a picture of herself looking displeased, along with the caption: "When bae says he misses you... #imaginaryBae By the way … @bet_intl Africa is not a country!!!… It is wrong to nominate huge African stars and publicly try to humiliate Africa. Why on Earth is the African category of the awards held hours before the main event? If African artistes are not worthy in your sight. Pls by all means cancel delete, omit best international act (Africa) category out of the glorified awards.

This is wrong!!! Wrong wrong wrong.

Meanwhile

Pls next time, credibility over padypady!!”

Alade has since removed the caption, leaving only, "When bae says he misses you... #imaginaryBAE".

Emma Nyra, Ubi Frankling open up on their rift

It is no longer news that Triple MG boss, Ubi Franklin and his record label first lady, Emma Nyra have called it quits. Yes, and it was not a matter they resolved at a roundtable, the once chummy-chummy duo took each other to the cleaners and put up a bit of a show on social media to fill their fans in on all the shindig that went down. At a point in their creamier than cream relationship, the duo were virtually inseparable, which set tongues wagging that they must have been more than mere friends. While the hint of a relationship was being dropped around, neither Ubi nor Emma saw anything wrong with it. Until the song changed! According to reports, the song changed for them when Ubi Frankin proposed to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, presumably, shunning his ward who has been waiting in the wings for years.
