    “And even though I have sad feelings throughout the day about the crisis outside when I am with my baby, it’s pure unadulterated joy. I cried so much when Adejare came out. I cried when I first held her. I can’t lie, I still stare at her and shed a few more. Lol.

     

    “I’m obsessed with all her expressions; you need to see her stank face – it’s hilarious. I have never seen any baby this beautiful. I mean it. My baby came out with a head full of hair like mine and the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen like Simi. Wow.

     

    “I feel so protective over her, and everything happening right now has made me even more conscious of how I want to raise her. I want her to always know she is loved. She is powerful. She is pure black girl magic and I will always believe in her.”

  • I had it rough, got a lot of rejections- Adekunle Gold

    Before the glamour, glitz and stardom, soulful singer, Adekunle Gold had it rough. The award winning crooner in a recent chat noted that he had it tough when he began doing music.

    According to him: “I had it very rough and that has built my mind to be resilient. I got a lot of rejections… which helped me grow. For example, you send a song to someone, they say the diction is not good or that I put too many words in my song, I took it as a point to improve”, he told TheNetng.

    Asked about his experience when signed to the Olamide led YBNL, he said:“It was really beautiful. It felt good to have a family that was looking out for you. Because I come across as gentle and my style of music sounded like it didn’t fit there, but the truth is we were all street boys with one thing in common – the hustle”,

     

    Gold also added that he loves performing with a live band, stating that there is no better feeling than performing live with a band.

    “I love playing on stage with a band. There’s no better feeling than performing live with a band. It is absolutely beautiful to be able to stop the band. It is fun to just interact with people on stage. I will always be a band guy”.

    “Sadly, I was not done making him proud, there are dreams I had with him in the picture, I don’t know guys, I really wasn’t done.
    “ I find little solace in something I read today. “God knows how to write straight on crooked lines” This area is very crooked for me, these are depths of grief that I have never dived. But God…God will figure it out.
    “ I thank you all for your prayers, your support, your kind words. None of them have gone unnoticed. I pray the love you’ve shown me will be accorded you in your time of need.
    “To my Dad, the greatest man I will ever know in this life and the next, sun re o!Adieu papa. May your soul rest in perfect peace.”
