Court

Popular Twitter user Dr. Penking has discovered the key to Yemi Alade's incredible success at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Recall that only a few days ago, Mohamed Ramadanws, Magic System, and Yemi Alade were revealed as the main performers at AFCON 2023? Yemi thanked the organizers and made the announcement to her Instagram fans. She thanked them for enabling all Africans to come together for a shared interest in sports. In response, Dr. Penking called Yemi Alade a shrewd businesswoman who understands how to profit from AFCON. He noted how, a few years prior to AFCON, Yemi Alade usually releases a song about Africa, which won over the organizers. “Yemi Alade knows exactly how to cash out from AFCON. Every two years before AFCON, she would enter the studio and cook a new single shouting Africa oooooooo. Then AFCON will pay her 100 billion to come and perform it at the opening ceremony. Rinse and repeat. Smart money woman” He tweeted. During the AFCON opening ceremony, Yemi Alade gave a vibrant and energetic performance that brought joy to Nigerians across the continent. The 34-year-old has now joined the esteemed group of Nigerian musicians, like Burna Boy, Davido, Rema, and Kizz Daniel, who have all made memorable debuts at athletic events. Yemi Alade astounded the crowd with a fantastic performance infused with African cultural heritage, as was to be expected.
