Biography
Yemi Alade is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, actress, and activist from Ondo State who became the first female to win MTV African Music Awards for Best Female two consecutive years and the first African female nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards. Born 13 March 1989, she won the Peak Talent Show in 2009 and signed to Effyzzie Music Group, scoring her breakthrough with "Johnny" in 2014. Her albums King of Queens and Mama Africa established her as a major touring act; she debuted on Billboard's Next Big Sound Chart at No. 4 in 2016.
Alade's music fuses Afropop, highlife, dancehall, pop, and R&B, performed across seven languages—English, Igbo, Pidgin, Yoruba, French, Swahili, and Portuguese. She won The Headies Award for Best Performer in 2018 and 2019, becoming the first artist to win the newly created category. In 2015 and 2016, she received BET Award nominations for Best International Act: Africa. Her music videos became a cultural force: she is the second Nigerian and Afrobeats artist and the first female to reach 100 million YouTube views for a single video after Davido. Her sixth studio album Rebel Queen's lead single "Tomorrow" earned her first Grammy nomination at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for Best African Music Performance. As a Pisces born in 1989 with Life Path 7, her introspective creativity and visual artistry—stage presence, fashion, and video direction—define her brand as much as her vocal range. She works as a singer, songwriter, and actress, roles that extend her influence beyond music into activism.
