Fed up by the deluge of scathing remarks she has been inundated with, talented singer Yemi Alade has called out her critics who slammed the lyrics of her latest song.

The singer who was obviously upset at the development pointed out that the lyrics of male artists in the industry are not being criticised the way hers were put down by hard stance critics.

Read her comments below;

“I don tire for all this self-acclaimed critics in this Nigeria. They don’t do any form of research, they don’t listen to the artistes’ songs, and then they just say sh-t. I’m sorry for some people that call themselves critics oh. Hmmm, I’m smiling to the bank, you’re not.

“Be there questioning my lyrics but you would not question the lyrics of the boys. I’m upset about this kind of thing; I just really think that people don’t know when they’re actually being biased gender wise. They don’t know when they’re trying to pick on females.

“Enough is enough, y’all just shut up! You’re going to really be checking people’s lyrics and you’re going to be a so-called critic as you call yourself then please make sure you check the guys’ lyrics too. Don’t be on no female’s case, who are you?!”
