Beyonce sings like Yemi Alade
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported a video of Beyonce that trended on the Nigerian social media space. The reason for this was owing to the sound of Beyonce's voice in the song, which was similar to that of Nigerian singer Yemi Alade in an old video.
The video sparked reactions as some Nigerians claimed the international artist attempted to imitate the Afrobeat genre.
