Recall that Yemi Alade shared the moment she met British singer Ed Sheeran at an event. The singers got talking, and Ed confessed that he prefers Ghana’s version of Jollof to Nigeria’s, even though he hasn’t been to Nigeria.
Ed’s comment failed to sit well with the Nigerian music crooner, as she declared war on him.
