Yemi Alade continues in her quest for domination and supremacy as the queen of Afropop with another massive hit single featuring American Rap superstar Rick Ross. Once again Yemi sets another record as the first female Afropop artist to get over 1 million youtube views in 24 hours. This is in addition to the fact that she is the first female afropop artist to hit over 100 million youtube views for her hit single 'Johnny'. With her youtube channel boasting over a million subscribers and over 7 million followers on instagram Yemi has again thrown down the gauntlet to her bitter arch rival Tiwa Savage over who has the right to wear the crown as the Queen Of Afropop and its looking like that is a debate which will continue for sometime. Watch out for Yemi's forthcoming album 'Woman Of Steel' due to be released later this year
Forget Femi Kuti or Seun Kuti many say the new heir apparent to the late great afrobeat genius Fela Kuti is Burna Boy, no doubt there is a distinct similarity of vocal style and content with Burna boy frequently commenting on Nigerian societal themes such as corruption and injustice in his songs and also going as far as to sample beats from "Sorrow Tears and Blood" one of Fela's most popular hits. The new track killin Dem feat Zlatan X is a mix of his self proclaimed Afrofusion beats and Zlatan's shaku shaku street vibe its another hot banger which will definitely thrill his fans as embarks on his sold out African Giant Tour.
Burna Boy Blows Up Social Media With News He's Dating Sefflon Don Burna Boy recently blew up the internet when he laid claim to UK rapper Stefflon Don by posting that video which showed her in his bed sleeping on his chest Steff then went on to the confirm the relationship by posting on her instagram that she's got a new 'Bae' whatever that means.
But before we get too excited she also said he never hit yet!! - aka she never seen his banana or start to chop jollof rice becos Burna Boy never enter Jerusalem he still dey at the gate. So I suppose we will have to wait and see how this one goes or how long it lasts and if its for real considering the fact that she been romantically linked with UK Rap Artist Fekky, Tory Lanez and yer boy Drizzy Drake over the past year. They have however gone on to spend a romantic Valentines day with Burna Boy booking a Mexican style mariachi band to serenade Stef and also showering her apartment with a dozen roses The Ye star also sent her several romantic cards and wrote on one 'I promise to never ever hurt you' an obvious pun on her hit single 'Hurtin Me' So maybe this time the romance is for real.
