Yemi Alade is known for her Afrocentric style, mainly promoting her
fashion style by wearing Ankara prints/African prints ensemble in her
music videos and both on and off stage.
In a recent chat with Silverbird TV's E-weekly interview, Yemi stated
that she does not dress because she is trying to be super sexy.
Of her unique fashion style, she said:
“If you have followed my music, you will see the way I dress, I
like being very comfortable and real with my fans. Not that I am trying
to be sexy or expose myself, I just dress for myself and present
myself to my fans the way I am. In reality, the original African woman
is almost half-Unclad when she wants to dance.
"Remember in the past, when the women come out to dance; they are
almost half-Unclad, what am I even say¬ing? Till today, in South
Africa, there is this festival they do, where women come out without
tops, not even a bra.
"The King does not allow the use of bra at all. I am an African woman,
that is why when you see me in some videos I use calabash as bra and
other times I wear very short things, not because I am trying to be
super sexy, I am only presenting myself the way I am to my fans,”
