It is one thing to tag along on a project and it’s another to stand out and be seen. This is exactly what Yemi Alade did on Beyonce’s Black Is King album.
Black Is King, which dropped at midnight, serves as a visual album for Beyonce’s The Gift album made for The Disney Original movie, ‘The Lion King’.
Yemi Alade featured on this album which was released in 2019 and made an appearance in the newly released visual album.
Known for her energetic performances, Yemi Alade brought it home once more with her performance on the “Don’t Jealous Me” track off the album.
Her typical Yemi Alade performance on the track had us wowed, not only us, but the world, because she started trending on Twitter.
Here are some of the things people had to say about the performance
Yemi Alade is the greatest living African performer/ entertainer in the world.

Yemi Alade killed it, she was gorgeous, fierce and stood her own in #BlackIsKing I wonder why she isn’t trending.

Yemi Alade was actually given all the video to embody
Beyonce sure knows her worth
Nigerians may not be rating her, but dam it, she's on top of her game and steadily killing it
She's an entertainer, a while movie
I Stan a 👸, who doesn't rely on Twitter judgment#BlackIsKing
