Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade on Thursday accused a radio station (Cool FM Nigeria and CloudAfrica FM) of blacklisting her music after she refused to attend their event.

Yemi Alade explained that in December 2023, Cool FM had invited her to perform at their December event, but she failed to perform at the show.

The 35-year-old singer noted that she reached out and apologised but got cold feet from them, adding that little did she know the managers of Cool FM and Clout Nigeria held it against her.

According to her, it led to her music being blacklisted from the platforms for nearly a year.

“Mr Serge and Mr Joseph, this life is not hard like that. WE SEE YOU… I SEE YOU @cloutafrica @CoolFMNigeria. This world is a small village. My God will fight for me… Una dey forms gatekeepers in 2024.” She tweeted.

She further expressed her surprise at how her entire music catalogue was booted out of the station’s playlist, thereby ensuring no one at their station played her songs (past or present) on the radio.

“Since December 2023. I personally reached out in January. You are still refusing to play my music and giving my team a hard time. You’re not gatekeepers, and you are not God, Mr Serge Noujaim and Mr Joseph Adamu’’.

She further accused them of intimidation and operation trying to play God: “The common decency to reach out and clear out any misunderstanding borne out of sheer carelessness on your path for a whole year, and your next move is to place an embargo on my songs? Remove my whole catalogue,” she tweeted again.

Meanwhile, Cool FM has yet to respond to her accusations.
