Yemi Alade makes ‘Over 30 Under 50’ Forbes Africa’s Most Inspiring Women list
Forbes Africa has listed Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade as one of the most inspiring women, in the second edition of ‘Over 30 Under 50’ for 2025!
“I feel like we need to stop focusing on the naysayers; people who keep saying the things that don’t make sense,” the Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer told FORBES AFRICA. “We need to shed more light on the people who say the truth about reality and the positives, which is that ‘if you believe it, you can achieve it’. Age is not the restriction and age is not the determinant. It’s all about what is in your mind. Just go for it.”
Last year, Forbes Africa celebrated some of the most inspiring women in the first-ever ‘Over 30 Under 50’ list, spotlighting musicians, actors, business leaders, and tech entrepreneurs excelling in their 30s and 40s.
According to the pan-African media company, these women are trailblazers, disruptors, and decision-makers across Africa!
Yemi earned her first Grammy nomination in the 2025 Best African Music Performance category—a major milestone in her incredible career.
