The singer who is happily married to his colleague, Simi also shared how he manages his family and musical career.

“It is crazy. I mean, I’m still in the early stages, yea. But I’m learning every day to prioritize, like, family more. And when it’s time to work, I mean we work, right? Like, I’m on a work trip now, I don’t feel the need to check in all the time, you know? I know when they will be up. So, I make sure I follow through and all of that. And then, when we are home, it’s strictly home,” he said.

Popular Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold has issued a warning to people.

He warned ‘comparison experts’ to quit their ‘shit polls’ trying to comparing him to anyone.

He recounted how people almost made give in to mediocrity with their constant criticisms of his craft when he dropped his 2018 album, “About 30”.

But the singer, acknowledging his hardheadedness revealed it was what held him from giving in to ‘crazy’ criticisms because eventually, these same people torned around to laud him for that project, terming it his best work yet.

“Opelope Stubborn and coconut head, I for don listen to some of una.

I remember when I released “Call of Me” The criticism I got was crazy. I dropped About 30, most of you didn’t even listen for yourself but you bashed it (only to come back around to say it’s my best work yet)”, he said.

Speaking further, the “Party No Dey Stop’” buzzing song maker offered clarity on his ‘makeup’, noting there wasn’t anybody anywhere like him.

He said the things he did could never be done by anyone else but he could perfectly do what others did.

Tio Tequila added: “Finally, stop comparing me to anyone and all that your shit polls need to stop.

“I am cut from a different cloth, NOBODY LIKE ME! I can do what they do, they can’t do what I do. Thank you to everyone rocking with me. All my love.”

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.
