Afropop singer, Yemi Alade, has cut shut a troll who tried to suggest she might be broke due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

WuzupNigeria reports that since the pandemic shutdown activities around the world a lot of Nigerian celebrities have suggested they are affected by it financially.

But the ‘Shekere’ crooner, while reacting to a troll on one of her posts on Twitter, said despite the lockdown, she still gets paid thousands of foreign currency in royalties both monthly and quarterly.

The controversy started when Yemi Alade tweeted that she just realized that she has always had a house and only started to actually live in it because of the lockdown.

She wrote,

Mehn, I’m just realising that even though I have always had a house, I only just started to LIVE in it and call it home. I spent more time at airports and in Airplanes. Even though I truly miss spending time on stage, it feels good to be at home( in a way) and I’m thankful.

The troll reacted to the post saying the lockdown has humbled all the celebrities and has also rendered them jobless.

“Quarantine and self isolation has humbled all our celebrities. Did you also realise that you are jobless?”

Yemi responded saying that despite the lockdown, she still gets paid thousands of foreign currency in royalties both monthly and quarterly.

She advised the user to get a job as he is the one who truly needs it and sadly revealed that there is no vacancy on her end.

She wrote:
