Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has opened up about what truly matters to him: family. The Afrobeats star made it clear that his wife, Simi, and their daughter, Adejare, are the centre of his world. Speaking in a recent episode of the NotJustOk podcast, the ‘Orente’ crooner revealed that while he can live with failing as a musician, failing as a husband or father is something he can never accept.
Adekunle Gold, who has built a solid career with hits like “Sade,” “Okay,” “5 Star,” and “High,” shared that fatherhood has changed his priorities. He explained that his greatest goal is to give his daughter a better life than he experienced growing up. This desire, he said, was one of the inspirations behind his emotional song, “My Love Is The Same.”
The singer, who married fellow music star Simi in 2019, described his family as his “centre.” He stressed that he works hard not just for career success, but to secure a brighter future for his child. “My family is my centre. I don’t joke with my family. I can afford to be a failed musician, not a failed father or a man. That’s not negotiable for me,” he said.
Adekunle Gold and Simi are one of the most admired celebrity couples in Nigeria, often praised for keeping their relationship private and genuine. Their daughter, Adejare, born in 2020, has become a huge part of their journey, with both stars often expressing their love for her in their music.
Beyond his music, Adekunle Gold continues to use his platform to talk about love, growth, and fatherhood, showing a more personal side to fans who have followed his career from his YBNL days to global stages.
