I'm working very hard so my daughter doesn't suffer like I did — Adekunle Gold

Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has revealed the reason he is working very hard day and night.

The singer who is married to fellow Nigerian singer Simi noted that his family, specifically his 3-year-old daughter is the reason he is dropping songs on a regular basis.

He admitted in an interview with Nigerian Youtuber, Tayo Aina that being a father is the biggest responsibility yet his most cherished role.

“Being a father is a huge responsibility that I love by the way. Knowing that I have a huge responsibility to raise a queen. You know, my family is my centre. Anywhere they are is my happy place.

“That is one of the reasons I’m hustling hard. Because this girl, the life that I lived growing up, she can’t do the same. That’s why I’m dropping school fees’ music for you people,” he said.

He said being married to someone who is also an artiste has made his life easier because he doesn’t have to do a lot of explanations about his busy schedule.

The two got married in January, 2019 after a period of dating and welcomed their daughter, Adejare, aka Dej in May 2020.
