Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, has spoken about family and priorities, stressing that his wife, Simi, and daughter, Adejare, are the centre of his life.

The ‘Orente’ hitmaker emphasised that he can afford to be a failed musician, but not a failed father and husband.

Featuring in a recent episode of the NotJustOk podcast, Adekunle Gold stated that one of his greatest goal is to give his daughter a better life than his parents gave him growing up.

He shared that his song ‘My Love Is The Same’ was inspired by his determination to be a better father to his daughter.

“All I wanted to be is to do more for my own daughter because I can’t afford to bring her to the kind of life that I grow up living. It has to be way better. And that’s why I’m working hard.

“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 expressed.
