Nigerian Singer, Adekunle Gold Explains The Meaning Of ‘Tequila Ever After’

Adekunle Gold, the Afrobeats Pop star, also known as AG Baby has explained the reason behind his anticipated album ‘Tequila Ever After’.

In an interview with Apple Music Africa Now Radio, AG Baby tells the host Nandi Madiba about the inspiration behind his new album.

According to Adekunle Gold, he wasn’t in the best of moods after his last album ‘Catch Me If You Can’ was postponed and to help lift his mood, he was handed a bottle of Tequila.

That was his first time taking that brand of alcohol and according to AG, the alcohol put him in a whole new mood.

“I discovered tequila for the first time last year yeah, I know. We had moved my ‘Catch Me If You Can’ release that day, and I was so upset about it. I wanted the album to come out at a certain time, so I was just upset and obviously, they knew I needed an antidote or something. They brought me a bottle of Patron and I had just one shot… I’m telling you, tequila makes everything better.

“My mood lifted so much and I’m like ‘sheesh!’. It felt so good.

“I pay attention to things a lot and I’m like wait, this experience should not just happen like this without me talking about it. I wondered what if people listen to my music and this is how they feel? I made a song that day and it was a beautiful song and I’m like you know what, I’m going to carry on with this energy. I’m going to let people feel this way after one shot.”

‘Tequila Ever After’ is AG’s fifth album which will fully usher in his Tio Tequila artistic era.

According to AG, the album is the fifth level of his adventure, and he’s at his most happy, cheerful, and confident.

“I’m on level five of my adventure game and it’s all fun. It’s happy, it’s a party, it’s more confident, all better off. When you take tequila, it’s all better off you don’t give any damn, you just say whatever you want to say, and that’s what ‘Tequila Ever After’ means.

“It’s a metaphor for where I am in my life right now. I’m in a very happy state – like very, very happy and I want it to shine through the music.”

Singer Simi reveals how she met her husband Adekunle Gold

Sensational Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko better known as Simi, has revealed how she met the absolute love of her life, singer Adekunle Gold.

The mother of one shared the heartwarming story during a recent interview on Beat FM.

She disclosed that when she was involved in gospel music, Adekunle Gold was a huge fan of hers and sent her numerous messages on Facebook. However, she didn’t see those messages and didn’t know him at the time.

Their paths eventually crossed at one of her musical performances when Adekunle Gold attended the show to watch her perform. After the event, he approached her to express his admiration as a fan.

According to Simi, her husband was very persistent in his pursuit of her as he explored every means to get her attention. She said she eventually became his friend because she was attracted to his kindness.

She said he asked her to be his girlfriend that same year, and the rest, they say, is history. The celebrity couple dated for five years and tied the nuptial knot in 2019.

Her words,

“In the gospel community, I was pretty well known. And he [Adekunle Gold] had heard my album at that time as well.

“He has been reaching out to me on Facebook, DMing me on Facebook. But I didn’t see those DMs until we started dating.

“I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with white BYC and jeans. He came to see me perform. I was like, ‘Oh hey! He was like, ‘Oh! I’m such a fan.’ And I was like, ‘Okay!’ [laughs].

“I don’t know, he must have been persistent because there is a friendship that came out from there. I thought he was a really nice guy. We became friends and later that year, he asked me out.

“I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have nothing. He was a nice guy and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy’ [laughs].”

According to the afro-highlife singer, he will show trolls ‘pepper’ this 2023.

Making known his intention for his detractors, the “Party No Dey Stop” singer said: “I just want to announce that this is the year that I’ll be pressing your necks real bad. Get ready!”
This is coming after an ardent fan of Burna Boy on Twitter accused AG Baby of copying his ‘idol’, stating it was getting really obvious and upsetting by the day.
The tweep, Benny claimed not only had Adekunle Gold copied Burna’s style of dressing but also his posture, smile and associating with the ‘Last Last’ singer’s pals.
Benny claimed the ‘Sinner’ singer would soon enough take the ‘copying’ act to the next level at which point he’d start reproducing Burna Boy’s songs.
 
“The Burna Boy plagiarism is really so obvious and very annoying at this point. Man can’t you just be yourself? Same posture, same glasses, same smile. Wtf?! It’s been going on for a while now and we need to speak on it.
 
“Now he’s already linking with Odg’s pals. The most annoying part of it all is that he doesn’t acknowledge that he copies Odg in anyway”, he said referring to a recent photo that captured AG Baby posing with Israel Adesanya, Usman Kamaru and others during their celebratory party at a club after Stylebender’s knockout victory over Alex Pereira.
 
“Y’all really want to say this is a coincidence?! LMAOO, na to go sing Last Last remain for am,” Benny added.
