Pop diva, Yemi Alade relayed her life story on #MySuperStarStory, a platform which aims to celebrate stories of triumph over adversity among celebrities. She narrated how she had to beg for free studio time because she did not have a dime to pay for recording. There were even times when she would have to scrape some money together to buy fuel to run the studio generator before she could be recorded, she stated. The sensational songstress' turning point was through the song, Johnny, which she stated has changed her life forever. "God brought that song my way without telling me He was going to bless me," she said, beaming with smile. "I'm looking for my Johnny. Where is my Johnny?" is one remarkable line in the song. And for anyone who follows African music, this song is easily one of the biggest tracks of 2014 with over 20 million views on YouTube, and with a remix in French, it has become an anthem in Nigeria and across West Africa. To Alade, this song is more than just a successful track. It was a life changer – a culmination of years of struggle and thankless toil, she noted, as she sat down for the #MySuperStarStory session where she shed light on her journey in music up to this point. The initiative encourages everybody to share their superstar story on social media, by using the hashtag #MySuperStarStory.
