Taking to her official website, Beyonce, send a birthday wish to Yemi Alade who turned 32 yesterday. On Beyoncé's website, she wrote: "Happy Birthday Yemi Alade." Recall that Yemi Alade was featured on Beyoncé's latest album, titled, "The Lion King: The Gift.
She was featured in a song off the album, titled, "Don't Jealous Me" by Beyonce featuring Yemi Alade, Mr. Eazi and Tekno Miles. In a recent interview, Yemi Alade revealed how she almost missed out in featuring in Beyoncé's album due to fear of scam on her manager's path.
She wrote: "When my management had gotten the e-mail from Parkwood (Beyonce’s self-owned entertainment company), we disregarded it because we didn’t believe that it was true.
"Eventually, he (my manager) had the conversation with them and then they (Parkwood) were already almost two weeks to the end of the production. I eventually got to the office and we went to see the manager in Los Angeles. I had no talking or singing voice; I was just weak. I get the opportunity to get this far and I have no voice.
But luckily, I got a lot of vitamin shots and throat teas, and I pretty much went into hibernation mode where I did nothing but nourish my body. Eventually, I had a somewhat talking-singing voice. I got into the studio and somehow, we were able to do this. By the time we got there, they had already picked 150 other songs that they had gotten. And I hadn’t even jumped on it, yet. So, I just told myself that I am going to do all that I can and if I don’t make the project I would just go home knowing that I did my best."
