The reps for AFWN 2016, Jide 'JReason' Adedeji and Yetunde 'Yetty D' Ogunnubi spoke about the singer's unique style as the major unique point for choosing her as face for the 'Connecting Africa' themed event for this year.

"Even from her nail polish to her hair and the way dresses speaks African, because AFWN more like tells a story so when Yemi Alade was mentioned it just clicked..." Jide Adedeji said. "She captures the whole essence of Africa, if you watch her videos and style and everything" Yetty Ogunnubi added.

The duo also revealed a lot of surprises set to be unveiled as the show wraps up later today noting that there are efforts put into making the AFWN platform even bigger this year.
