Yemi Alade has spoken out against the BET Awards.
The
Nigerian pop star was nominated for the Best International Act – Africa
at the 2015 BET awards. But she opted not to travel, instead remaining
in Nigeria.
She has spoken out
on social media against the organization of the awards. Yemi Alade is of
the opinion that it is wrong for the African stars to receive their
awards before the show.
“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
ARTISTS ARE NOT WORTHY IN YOUR SIGHT."
Yemi
Alade went further calling for the cancellation, deletion and omission
of the category, if the winners will not get a chance to receive their
honors at the main event.
“PLS BY ALL MEANS
CANCEL,DELETE,OMMIT THE “BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT (AFRICA) CATEGORY OUT OF
THIS GLORIFIED AWARD. THIS IS WRONG! !! WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.”
Finally she threw in a shot at this year’s choice of winners for the category. The award was won by Ghanaian singer, Stonebwoy. But the public outcry against the choice of the winner was huge.
“Mainwhile… PLS NEXT TIME,CREDIBILITY OVER PADDYPADDY!! CREDIBILITY !!” Yemi Alade said.Yemi Alade has shot into the centre of African entertainment, with her hit single ‘Johnny’ which was housed on her 'King of Queens' album. She is not the first star to attack the show.

Dear @BET, the reason why I didn't come is because you give our awards backstage! You have no respect for our hard work and achievements
