“I Can Fail as a Musician, But Not as a Father” — Adekunle Gold Speaks on Family Priorities

Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has opened up about his biggest priority in life — being a responsible husband and father.

In a recent interview on the NotJustOk Podcast, the music star revealed that his wife, fellow singer Simi, and their daughter, Adejare, are the centre of his world. He described them as his greatest source of strength.

Adekunle Gold explained that fatherhood has completely changed his mindset, pushing him to work even harder so he can give his daughter a better life than he had growing up.

His song “My Love Is The Same” reflects this commitment, showing his desire to remain a loving and present father despite his busy music career.

He made his stance clear with a powerful statement:

“My family is my centre. I can afford to be a failed musician, but not a failed father or man. That’s not negotiable.”

For Adekunle Gold, success isn’t just about fame — it’s about being there for the people who matter most.
