Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has reflected on his personal journey, family life, and career milestones, revealing that becoming a father of two has been the most profound shift in his life.

The artist shared these thoughts in a newsletter to his fans, where he spoke candidly about personal growth, gratitude, and the realities of success.

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly life can change without you even noticing it while it’s happening. One day you are praying quietly over dreams that still feel far away, and then suddenly you realize those same dreams are now your actual life,” he wrote.

It's been a great few months for the singer, who notes they are hitting new career peaks and feeling more fulfilled than ever.

“The past few months have felt like that for me. There’s been so much movement, so many wins, so much life that makes all the toiling worth it,” he stated.

While discussing his new release, Formation, Adekunle Gold noted that the creative process still sparks the same excitement it did when he first started.

“I released Formation, which felt special for many reasons. There’s something beautiful about being able to make music that I enjoy after all these years. I love creating, I love hearing an idea come alive for the first time,” he said.

The singer also shared details about his upcoming North American orchestral tour, revealing that the concept has been a long-held dream years in the making.

“I remember seven years ago before I released Afro Pop, I sat in Asa’s living room discussing the idea that I wanted to perform with an orchestra someday. I wanted to hear my songs differently with an orchestra,” he recalled.
