Yemi Alade of The Nigerian Anatomy has applauded The Black Entertainment Television Network, a TV Network that celebrates Africans from the Entertainment, Arts and Sports Industry. The Black Entertainment Television Network every year holds an awards festival which had become admired by people all over the world, to celebrate people with exceptional talents.

For the African scene, the awards was given to the winners backstage. This has been seen as very discriminatory and humiliating. However, the TV Network have stood up and change the settings of their programme, now. From hence, all the winners who are spotlighted from that category will now be awarded om the front-page instead of the backstage.

It is in this light that, award winning icon, Yemi Alade from The Nigerian Anatomy has highlighted this case and congratulated The Organisers of The Black Entertainment Television for acting in the right direction. In 2017 Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun known as Wizkid won the BET Best International Act but did not show up at the awards ceremony. Wizkid criticised the Management of BET and said he didn’t go because African Musicians were given the awards backstage. Since 2018, it has been different. When David Adedeji Adeleke known as Davido won Best International Act in 2018, he took the award in front of all the congregants at the front stage.

Yemi Alade has just released a new track by name FAKE FRIENDS and is expecting this to be a World Thriller.
