Adekunle Gold media appearances and commentary

Overview

Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has participated in podcast interviews discussing his personal life, musical background, and views on Nigerian politics.

During an appearance on the One54 Podcast, Gold expressed concerns about the state of democracy in Nigeria, stating, “I don’t think we’re truly practicing democracy. We aren’t doing what a democratic society should do.” He contextualized these remarks within fellow singer Davido’s decision to appeal to U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the Osun State governorship election. Gold also spoke of his friendship with Davido, describing him as a loyal supporter.

In a separate discussion on the One54 Africa podcast, Gold detailed his musical upbringing. He described spending 11 years in a church choir despite being raised in a Muslim family, a result of his father’s liberal religious views. He credited this experience, along with guidance from his aunt, for his development in vocal harmonies and musical leadership.
