Adekunle Gold on fatherhood and priorities

Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has opened up about his life as both a father and an artist, sharing a deeper look into how family has reshaped his priorities. In a recent interview, the “Ogaranya” crooner revealed that fatherhood has changed the way he views success, balance, and responsibility.

Adekunle Gold, who is married to fellow musician Simi, stated that while he takes pride in his music career, being a father comes first in every decision he makes. According to him, failure in music would be disappointing but manageable, while failing his daughter as a father would be unforgivable.

He explained that fatherhood has given him a new sense of purpose, guiding how he spends his time and the kind of legacy he wants to build. The singer noted that he now pays more attention to the messages in his songs, his lifestyle, and how he represents himself in public because he wants his daughter to grow up proud of him.

Adekunle Gold also reflected on how becoming a parent has influenced his work ethic and emotional depth in songwriting. He described the experience as both humbling and inspiring, revealing that it has pushed him to become more intentional in everything he does.

The artist, who has maintained a strong presence in the Nigerian and international music scenes, continues to balance his artistic goals with family life. He emphasized that his ultimate ambition is not only to be remembered as a successful musician but as a devoted father who always put his family first.
