Chiwetalu Agu Praises Yemi Alade For Wearing A Traditional Outfit To The Grammys

Chiwetalu Agu, a veteran actress, has lauded singer Yemi Alade for her attire at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 3.

Alade, who was a nominee, attended the event dressed in stunning crimson Edo state regalia.

In an online video, Agu praised Alade for using her attire to promote African culture on a worldwide scale.

“Yemi Alade, you are a queen. The queen you think you are. She may not have won the Grammy, but she won my heart. If there’s nobody to say it, I, Chief Chiwetalu, will give you your flowers.

“Not only did she represent Afrobeat, but she also represented the African culture. Through her attire at the Grammys Award, she is putting the African culture on the world map. Her outfit was screaming, ‘I did not come to impress you, I know my roots’. We talk about how decent and natural she has been as an artist. Or how beautiful she is as a woman. The body is tea. How talented, disciplined, reserved, established, and humble she is as a lady.

“Yemi, keep on being the role model you are to so many young girls. Chief Chiwetala admires and loves you so much. I pray you find your Johnny at the right time.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
