Today marks the 30th birthday of one of Africa’s biggest stars, Yemi Alade.
Born on March 13, 1989, Yemi has become one of the greatest musical exports from Nigeria to the world. Her 2013 is one of the highest rated singles in African music history- it has over a hundred million views on YouTube alone.
Her career started in 2005, but it wasn’t until she won the Peak Talent Show in 2009 that she gained national prominence. She has three albums, one EP and dozens of singles to her name.
Happy birthday to her!
