Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has shared a dramatic experience of losing her voice just before recording for Beyoncé’s album, “The Lion King: The Gift.”

In an interview with Larry Madowo on ‘CNN African Voices’, Alade revealed how the incident unfolded after arriving in Los Angeles.

She said after arriving in Los Angeles, she visited the studio to meet the production team a day before her recording session, only to wake up the next morning unable to speak.

“All I heard in my head was an effort, but I couldn’t voice out words,” she explained, describing her shock and discouragement.

Despite feeling discouraged, she said she decided to try her voice routine, which included a combination of warm water, Vitamin C, ginger, teas, and keeping warm.

The recovery enabled her to record two tracks with Beyoncé, including the “Don’t Jealous Me” hit and a verse for an earlier version of “My Power.”

Alade humorously attributed the initial vocal mishap to her “village people” trying to thwart her big break.

However, she expressed profound gratitude to God for overcoming the obstacle and making the collaboration a reality.

Popular Nigerian musician, Asake, has finally reconciled with his father, his daughter and baby mama.

The reconciliation move came after he was called out online for abandoning them after he became rich and famous.

Asake was heavily criticised earlier in 2025, after his baby mama, Adijat accused him of neglect despite standing by him when he had nothing.

In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, who is a stroke survivor, also called him out for abandoning him.

Following the backslash from netizens, including some celebrities, Asake reached out to his father and promised to finance his medical bills and also buy him a house.

However, a trending photo of the singer with his father, which surfaced online on Friday morning, signaled a return to harmony.

This came a few days after Asake reunited with his daughter and his baby mama.
