Her hit track ‘Johnny’ was a phenomenon raking over thirty million views on YouTube.

In a recent interview with BEAT FM, Yemi Alade revealed she performed at over 300 free shows before she became popular.

She also said she didn’t have enough money to buy studio time.

“It wasn’t easy in the beginning. I performed at over 300 free shows before I came this big. I didn’t use to have money for studio sessions. It was that bad” said the hit singer.
