“I Thought It Was A Scam” – Yemi Alade On Why She IGNORED Beyonce’s Email For 2 Months (Video)

Yemi Alade has opened up on how she got the history-making deal with Beyonce in a recent interview.

Yemi Eberechi Alade, known professionally as Yemi Alade, was featured in the American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer’s ‘Black is King’ album, a sequel to the 2019 “Lion King: The Gift’ album.

According to the Nigerian Afropop singer, songwriter, and activist, she did not respond to emails sent to her by Beyonce for two months because she and her manager taught it was a scam until she discovered the company that sending the mail was Parkwood, which is owned by Beyonce.

“We thought it was a scam email… I wasn’t the one receiving the emails, my management was and the thing is that, you have to be a crazy beyond fan like me to know her company’s name is “Parkwood”, So you’re getting emails from “Parkwood” about a collaboration with Beyoncé?!… My manager was telling me that he keeps getting these messages from Parkwood. He sounded very irritated and he was thinking of maybe blocking the email… and I asked him what did you say? Did you say “Parkwood?” I said (screams) that is Beyoncé!!!!…” she said.

“It took a while.. we were at the end of the collection like..they’ve been working on this for a while, maybe a month or two, I think even someone at some point came to Nigeria and they were trying to meet me but you know how some people are, they don’t want some people to meet some people.” she added.
