Nigeria’s Afro-pop Singer Yemi Alade Receives Official Invite To Perform At The 2017 Grammy Awards!!

Organizers of the Grammy Awards have extended an official invitation to Nigerian afro-pop music diva Yemi Alade for the 2017 show in February.

Alade, the African new school music sensation enjoyed phenomenal career success in 2016, dropping multiple hits that dominated the contemporary music scene across Africa.

She capped off her incredible year by posting a picture of an invitation to attend the 2017 Grammy Awards on her Facebook.

The photo which she captioned “Just Got Mail” displayed the official Grammy invite and an accompanying envelope:

The invitation is a first for Alade, who hit the limelight in Nigeria after winning a reality talent show in 2009. Alade is not on the list of nominees for this year’s Grammy’s and it is unclear as to what capacity she will be attending the awards, but it is definitely a recognition of Alade’s talent and achievements during the past few years.

In 2016, the singles “Want You” and “Gucci Ferragamo” off her sophomore album titled Mama Africa, went on to become massive hits on the continent, earning her a string of award wins and nominations.
