The “High” crooner has officially signed with popular American music label, Def Jam Recordings, Billboard reports on Tuesday.
This was made known in a statement by the company’s Chief Executive Officer/Chairman, Tunji Balogun.
In the release, Balogun hailed Kosoko for his songwriting, artistry, vocals and showmanship.
“I’ve been following Adekunle Gold since I first heard his record ‘Sade’ in 2016,” he said. “Over the years, everything in AG’s world has elevated — his songwriting has refined, the scope of his artistry has widened, his vocals have strengthened, his approach to fashion is more distinct, and his showmanship and performance ability have grown exponentially,”
“He’s stepped into stardom on his own terms and is completely comfortable being his true self.”
Balogun revealed that he had planned to bring Def Jam label into the Afrobeats space as soon as be started working at the label in 2022
“Adekunle felt like the perfect fit – he’d already done so much work on his own to build a base, but I knew that we could scale his audience to an even bigger level if we combined our energies and worked together,” he continued.
Gold also expressed excitement on signing with the label, and getting to work with Balogun especially with their shared Nigerian roots.
“He understands it,” Gold said. “So signing to Tunji makes sense. He’s like my studio buddy that just comes everywhere I go. The day he doesn’t have time to be there, I know he must’ve been like stupidly busy. He’s great.
“The track record is there. The history is there. They break artists, and they have niche, unique artists like me, so I think it’s the right move for me. All of the things that I’ve done for myself already, they know already and that’s why they’re on board.”
He is set to release a new album under Def Jam in June, 2023.

Wunmi Toriola, a popular Nollywood actress, has slammed the reports linking her with different men.
This is coming a few weeks after the mother of one announced her separation from her husband of six years.
The movie star became a trending topic on social media when some reports alleged that she was having a secret affair with one of her colleague’s husbands. The report also alleged that her marriage hit the rock as a result of alleged extramarital affairs.
Despite the allegations from all corners, the 34-year-old actress denied all the reports saying none of it was near true.
According to Toriola, the secret of her successful career is hard work. She also stressed that she works on many film projects to enjoy the fame and wealth she currently possesses.
“Please, when you see write-ups/videos on Youtube or Tiktok about Wunmi Toriola, ignore it. They are sponsored by unidentified people just to dent my name,” she said.
Continuing she said, “The only thing that puts food on my table is my fanbase and acting skills. I don’t have any sugar daddy and none of my colleagues can claim to have ever hooked me up with any sugar daddy. I dare you to come out and counter my claim If I ever did hook up with you.”
Toriola, who lost her mother at a tender age, said she was shocked over the extent people could go to dent other people’s image.
“I’m not dragging the slay queen with anyone. I always stay on my line but my colleagues hate me because of my God-given talent. I’m not in competition with anyone in the film industry. You are into cinema movies but I’m focusing on my Youtube channel. Why is the hatred this much?
“Some people have been advising not to address this issue, but keeping calm has spoilt a lot of people’s names. If I ignore the rumour, how do you want my parents to cope with all this bad news? Though my mother is late but I still have a father, how do you want him to feel when you always put me in negative news?” She questioned shedding tears.
The thespian said, before now, she was reluctant to publicise the mansion she bought because of internet trolls.
“When I first bought the house I couldn’t post it because some people will read another meaning to it but I decided to publicise it because when I was working hard, they (haters) were busy doing prostitution. Yet my colleagues are sponsoring bloggers to publish negative news about me.”
