Afro pop superstar, Yemi Alade has revealed his she almost missed out on featuring on the album of American music idol, Beyonce in 2019.

In her interview with social media influencer, “Olorisupergal” Yemi Alade added that her manager was about blocking the sender of the mail after a series of mail he had already sent to her.

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 Beyonce fan like me to know that her company’s name is “Parkwood.” 

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 That is Beyoncé.

Yemi Alade also said that someone from Beyonce’s management came to Nigeria in a bid her but the effort was futile.

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.
