He said,
“All I wanted is to do more for my own daughter because I can’t afford to bring her into the kind of life I grew up living. It has to be way better. My family is my centre. I can afford to be a failed musician, not a failed father or man. That’s not negotiable.”
The award-winning artist made it clear that family is not just a part of his identity, it’s the foundation of who he is.
He also revealed that his song My Love Is The Same, from his new album was inspired by his bond with Simi and their daughter.
Adekunle Gold said the song reflects his commitment to showing love not just through words but through actions, especially in how he raises his child and cherishes his wife.
He said
“I’ve seen what it means to struggle, and I promised myself that my child won’t go through that. Every day, I’m reminded that love is not just what I say on stage—it’s what I do when no one is watching.”
