Fans on Twitter are divided over singer Yemi Alade’s statement that she is on the same level as male colleagues, Wizkid and Davido.

In an interview with Hot FM, Yemi stated that there is no number on in the music scene in Nigeria because according to her, she capable of holding down shows just as Wizkid and Davido.

“I respect everybody, we all inspire each other in this industry… there is actually no number one because your top five artistes in Nigeria that are the biggest in Africa can shut down the exact same capacity, the same capacity Wizkid holds down in Africa, I hold it down, the same capacity Davido holds down in Africa, I hold it down, the same venues, we all shut it down.

“So there is no number one, and that is the truth but not everybody will agree to that, people will say Yemi shut up but that is the truth. Why don’t we go ask the promoters, the people who know the numbers?” she said.

While some fans agree with her, others said she is nowhere near her male counterparts.
