  • Adekunle Gold condemns hike in electricity tariff, petrol price

    Adekunle Gold condemns hike in electricity tariff, petrol price

    Afro-pop singer, Adekunle Gold has lamented over the recent hike in fuel price and electricity tariff, calling it “madness”.

    TheNewsGuru recall that Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had earlier declared that protests and strike would begin nationwide on Monday over the federal government’s refusal to reverse petrol prices and electricity tariff.

    .During a YouTube-inspired virtual hangout with journalists on Friday, Gold said both increases are ill-timed.

    “Madness, that’s it. That’s all I have to say. I don’t know how you expect people to thrive in a pandemic where many lost their jobs,” he said.

    “People can barely feed. People can’t even go out to do things that will fetch them money. And, on top of that, you’re increasing fuel price. It can only be madness.”

    Gold also addressed the swift change in his sound.

    “With the album that I released, I have three albums so far. There have been changes. It was the intention. ‘Gold’ was more of highlife. And that’s because that was what I really felt back then,” he said.

    ‘About 30’ was an upgrade. A little more pop. During ‘Gold’, I knew I wanted to make ‘About 30’. I knew what I wanted the sound to be like. I went into ‘About 30 ‘ with clear intentions as well.

    “During ‘About 30 in November 2017, I already had a name for my third album. I already knew the direction I was going with it. It’s a progression. I wouldn’t call it a total change of sound.

    “It’s just growing and the conversations I want to have. I wouldn’t say I tried to change my sound. I’m still the same person, only more confident now. I say a lot more without worry, just doing me.

    “It makes sense to say I don’t have a sound because I can do anything. ‘Gold’ was highlife. ‘About 30′ was an upgrade with more pop. Now, ‘Afropop’ is totally different.

    “Who would think that I can do dancehall, R&B. An EDM-sounding song like ‘Here For Ya’. I’m trying to take music to a new level where people have not. The legacy is, I want to say is I did all.”

  • I don’t agree with homophobia — Adekunle Gold reacts over Simi’s LGBT comment

    I don’t agree with homophobia — Adekunle Gold reacts over Simi’s LGBT comment

    Afro-pop singer, Adekunle Gold has shared his opinion about the controversial comment made by Simi, his wife, on homosexuals, saying he doesn’t condone homophobic behaviour.

     

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Simi had apologized to the Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community after she claimed, on her vlog, that homosexuality wasn’t natural as believed.

     

    The record producer, who recently birthed her first child with Gold, was thereafter dubbed homophobic by LGBT activists. A number of the activists also took to social media platforms to slam.

     

    Reacting in response to the controversy, Gold stated that he isn’t in support of his wife’s comments. He, however, apologized on behalf of Simi.

     

    “I’m aware of the commotion online today and wanted to clear some things up. I am not a person who supports any kind of hate, period. I don’t agree with homophobic behavior,” Gold wrote.

     

    “I’m cool with every human being and I love all my fans, regardless of who they love or what they identify with. The timing of my wife’s apology was a pure and simple coincidence.

     

    “She had no idea about this or any interview whatsoever. She’s a beautiful, kind, and loving person, who like us all, has made mistakes. I hope you consider her apology and give her a chance to grow.

     

    “I’ve been upset by how much criticism and bullying a young editor trying to do something positive has been receiving. Bullying has no place in our society.

    “Also, for those questioning, I have never contacted any publication about a feature, I have a PR team who handles all my media relations. Quazar is a groundbreaking magazine.

     

    “So I agreed to do an interview and cover issue with them. To all my fans, from all backgrounds and walks of life, if you know me then you know Love is the only way forward.”
