Popular Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has reflected on his journey, family life and career milestones. He recently revealed that becoming a father of two has been the most profound change in his life.

Speaking in a newsletter sent to his fans, Adekunle shared how the past few months have been filled with major career wins and personal fulfilment, noting that the world slows down when he looks at his kids.

Stressing that the biggest change in my life has been happening at home, he declared that fatherhood is the best feeling.

His words, “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.

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.

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.

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.

I know the years nobody saw. I know how much faith this journey has required from me over and over again.

The biggest change in my life has actually been happening at home. I’m now a father of two.

I’ve been completely consumed with joy over my son. I understand something new about love watching him. Sometimes I’m holding him and looking at his sister and I genuinely lose track of everything else for a moment. The noise disappears. The pressure disappears. The world slows down. It’s the best feeling.”

WOW.
