Afropop singer Yemi Alade has replied claims that she is having an affair with her manager and co-owner of Effyzzie Entertainment, Taiye Aliyu.

Born and christened Yemi Eberechi Alade on March 13, 1989 in Abia State, Nigeria, the talented artiste referred to as a “Yoruba-Igbo girl” since her father, James Alade, is of Yoruba origin, while her mother, Helen Uzoma, is of Igbo origin, has informed those who care to listen that there is no truth in such claims.

When replying the regularly asked question about her reported affair with her manager in a recent interview with Naij.com, the artiste who obtained a degree in Geography at the University of Lagos replied thus; “Male Managers no be human being? The managers are there to take care of the careers of musicians. But seriously, if I had a female manager would you be asking me all these?”
