‘I wouldn’t have married my wife’
The singer revealed that he would have made a completely different decision if Simi had a genotype he considered incompatible with his own.
“I wouldn’t have married my wife if she were SS or AS. She’s AA,” he said.
Adekunle Gold explained that his decision was influenced by his concerns about bringing children into the world who could experience serious health challenges.
“I don’t think it makes sense to bring a child into this world and they’d be sickly,” he added.

"This was the ignorance of the past that made our people believe that certain kids were abiku and ogbanjes. They believed those kids dieddd and came back again only to dieee again,when in fact it was simply a case of the parents trying for another kid cos they lost the previous and the kid dying again becos of the geno type of the parents. And today we still believe silly superstitions when in fact everything that happens has an explanation. There is no juju.When we are baffled in Africa we say its juju and village people."
@IfeanyiOny95278 noted:
"It’s a serious decision when genetics and a child’s wellbeing are involved. Everyone has their own perspective, but what matters most is making informed choices and understanding the risks"
