    We thought it was a scam when Beyonce reached out- Yemi Alade

    Afro-pop singer, Yemi Alade has stated that she unknowingly ignored Beyonce for two months.

    According to her, her management was in charge of her emails and they had no idea why she received the email incessantly.

    It was on the manager mentioning “email from parkwood” that she realized that it was Beyonce.

    She said: “We thought it was a scam email… I wasn’t the one receiving the emails, my management was and the thing is that, you have to be a crazy beyond fan like me to know her company’s name is “Parkwood”, So you’re getting emails from “Parkwood” about a collaboration with Beyoncé?!…

    “My manager was telling me that he keeps getting these messages from Parkwood. He sounded very irritated and he was thinking of maybe blocking the email… and I asked him what did you say? Did you say “Parkwood?” I said (screams) that is Beyoncé!!!!…”

    On how long it took for them to actually respond to the email, Yemi Alade said: “It took a while.. we were at the end of the collection like.. they’ve been working on this for a while, maybe a month or two.

    “ I think even someone at some point came to Nigeria and they were trying to meet me but you know how some people are, they don’t want some people to meet some people.”

    Immediately after learning of her manager’s mistake, the singer immediately boarded a plane to Las Vegas and made her way to Beyoncé’s studios.

    “I had no idea what was coming. When we were done with the meeting, I went back to my apartment. I just woke up the next morning I couldn’t talk, definitely could not sing. I had no voice, I pushed and I got something out of it,” she noted.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Yemi Alade was featured as a guest artist on Beyonce’s “Black Is King” visual album, a sequel to the 2019 “Lion King: The Gift” album.
