Yemi Alade keeps her bold anthem run going with the new single “Freedom” from the Nollywood musical “Sweet 16.”
The song arrived as the official theme for the family drama, which hits Nigerian cinemas on August 14. It blends Afrobeat with a strong African pop pulse, and her powerful delivery carries the message of independence. The production keeps things energetic enough to stand alone outside the film.
Her catalogue spans albums like “Queen of Queens” and “Mama Africa,” moving across Afropop, highlife, and dancehall. She has shared stages and tracks with major names over the years. Now she steps further into film by appearing in “Sweet 16” alongside Alexx Ekubo, Mercy Aigbe, and Broda Shaggi.
That double role makes the release feel personal. She is not just singing over the credits; she lives inside the story too. So the message about choosing your own path lands with more weight.
