GIST: Much Ado About The N2.5 Million Dress Yemi Alade Wore To The BET Awards | @360Rhymez_com

She has dubbed herself ‘Mama
Africa’. And clearly from her mus
Yemi Alade tells one message an
one message alone – she is Mam
Africa. The last time we heard
someone being called that, it wa
the legendary iconic, now late
Mariam Makeba who was a civil
rights activist apart from being a
award winning musician. Hence,
Yemi Alade has big shoes to fill.
The idea of being Mama Africa is
about spreading the message that
should embrace our roots. Believe
Africa. Love being African. Be Africa
So why did the K.I.S.S.I.N.G croon
attend the BET awards wearing
something that was non-African?
She was spotted on the red carpet
wearing the piece below from
celebrated designer Zuhair Murad’
2016 Resort
Collection which reportedly cost a
staggering sum of N2,500,000.
Zuhair is a Lebanese. Not an Africa
disappointment that someone wh
herself Mama Africa and is the face
African Fashion Week Nigeria goes
awards show outside the country t
represent Nigeria and the continen
a Lebanese wear. What happened
Mademoiselle Aglaia, Iconola, Tinn
Styling, the designers whose wears
known to wear? Why did she choo
make such a bold fashion stateme
choosing something that does not
with her image?
Well, we will not know her reasons
until she chooses to respond. All t
same, her fans are disappointed. T
was her opportunity to represent
Nigerian design but she blew it. Sh
didn’t look Mama Africa. She looke
Mama Colonized.
If wearing a Zuhair is about getting
herself on the list of stars the desi
has dressed, and having a name in
the international scene, then she h
achieved her purpose and we wish
her well.
