How hackers almost ruined my career – Yemi Alade

Sensational singer, Yemi Alade has recounted her ordeal in the hands of hackers who she said almost destroyed her career.

The ‘Johnny’ crooner lauded her colleague, Phyno for backing her up at the said trying time.

Speaking on Da Chat with HFTv, the award winning songster said, “Sometime last year, my Instagram account was hacked. It was a very sad time for me. It actually happened on Valentine’s Day. I received a Valentine’s message from a hacker via my email, insulting me saying ‘hahahaha, you will see what I will do with you’.

“I wept so badly asking rhetorically, ‘what are you doing to a brand that I have protected for so long?

“First of all, the hacker posted a picture of Snoop Dog with a bad of marijuana and captions it ‘please come and smoke with me’.

“I was like, Jesus Christ, who is going to believe my story? The hacker went further to entice Phyno, asking him to come for a ‘good time.’

“The hacker told Phyno, ‘ah, you are travelling abi? When are going to see nao?…Phyno said, Oh I don’t know when; and then the hacker replied him saying ‘why are you acting as if you don’t know me? I want you to put your ‘hmm hmm in my hmm hmm’.

“Phyno responded saying ‘no way, the Yemi Alade I know is not like this, anyway, good luck bro.

“I don’t know why Phyno called the hacker bro but that was very awesome.

“I cried for this. I couldn’t understand why something I have been trying to keep clean for so many years would crumble in the hands of one hacker.

“You first of all posted weed and then trying to portray me as a slut.

“The most beautiful thing about the experience was that Phyno whom I wasn’t really close to, stood up for me, meaning he is a ‘soji’ guy and not an ‘f’ boy,” Yemi quipped.
