It looks like the hacking fever is not only in Kenya but also in Nigeria.
Johnny hit maker, Yemi Alade’s Instagram account was reportedly hacked while she was on tour outside Nigeria. In an interview with Punch Newspaper, Alade denied writing erotic messages to fellow artiste Phyno, clarifying that it was the hacker.
“I lost over 90,000 followers which made me a bit unhappy. The erotic messages that were sent to Phyno were not from me. It was the hackers that sent it to him. Right from the moment a picture of Snoop Dogg with marijuana was posted, that was not from me. My PR team has been sending messages to instagram but we are yet to get a response. I think it is because we are in Africa; they tend not to attend to our messages on time. But my team in London is working on it even if it means deactivating it. I have a new Instagram page now. However, I started my tour on that day and it elevated my mood.”
Alade also added that her PR team took control and her account is back and running according to Information Nigeria.
