She said, “In the gospel community, I was pretty well known. And he [Adekunle Gold] had heard my album at that time as well.
“He has been reaching out to me on Facebook, DMing me on Facebook. But I didn’t see those DMs until we started dating.
“I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with white BYC and jeans. He came to see me perform. I was like, ‘Oh hey! He was like, ‘Oh! I’m such a fan.’ And I was like, ‘Okay!’ [laughs].
“I don’t know, he must have been persistent because there is a friendship that came out from there. I thought he was a really nice guy. We became friends and later that year, he asked me out.
“I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have nothing. He was a nice guy and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy’ [laughs].”
Nigerian Afropop singer, Adekunle Kosoko, professionally known as Adekunle Gold and AG Baby, is set to join the league of Nigerian artistes breaking grounds internationally.

“I’ve been following Adekunle Gold since I first heard his record ‘Sade’ in 2016,” he said.
Adding: “Over the years, everything in AG’s world has elevated- his songwriting has refined, the scope of his artistry has widened, his vocals have strengthened, his approach to fashion is more distinct, and his showmanship and performance ability have grown exponentially. He’s stepped into stardom on his own terms and is completely comfortable being his true self.”
The CEO revealed that he had planned to bring Def Jam label into the Afrobeats space as soon as be started working at the label in 2022
“Adekunle felt like the perfect fit – he’d already done so much work on his own to build a base, but I knew that we could scale his audience to an even bigger level if we combined our energies and worked together,” he continued.
Gold also expressed excitement on signing with the label, and getting to work with Balogun especially with their shared Nigerian roots.
“He understands it. So signing to Tunji makes sense. He’s like my studio buddy that just comes everywhere I go. The day he doesn’t have time to be there, I know he must’ve been like stupidly busy. He’s great.
“The track record is there. The history is there. They break artists, and they have niche, unique artists like me, so I think it’s the right move for me. All of the things that I’ve done for myself already, they know already and that’s why they’re on board,” Gold said.

Popular Nigerian singer, Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, known professionally as Adekunle Gold and AG Baby, has blamed the current administration for the numerous challenges Nigeria is experiencing.
He lamented in a post on Twitter, saying the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government wasted eight years of the lives of Nigerians.
Adekunle Gold stated that the country has been on a steady regression for eight years.
He wrote; “This current administration wasted 8 years of our lives. 8 years, we regressed as a nation.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has said no single government is capable of solving all the problems facing the country.
He stated this on Monday, January 30th at the State of the Nation Dialogue organized by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Abuja.
Buhari, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said the only solution is for successive governments to be building on the foundations laid by previous administrations.
He said; “I will say no one government in this country will be able to solve the problems of Nigeria but as we build on the processes laid by successive governments, not discarding completely what has been put in place; we will build our dreams, take one or two things to concentrate on and move on.
“We believe the outcome of this dialogue can be transmitted to us so that whatever resolutions are reached, whatever recommendations you make; that will become part of the document that we will prepare as we transit and handover to a new incoming government.”
