Adekunle Gold addresses online critics with powerful words
Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Adekunle Gold has sent a clear message to social media critics, reminding them that people without real direction in life often become the loudest voices of judgment. The singer, who has built a reputation for authenticity and resilience, explained that critics rarely contribute anything meaningful, yet they thrive on negativity. According to him, the best response to such energy is to ignore it and remain focused on personal growth.
This revelation comes at a significant time in Adekunle Gold’s career. The award-winning singer is preparing to release his sixth studio album, *Fuji*, on October 3. One of the standout tracks on the album, titled *Simile*—which translates to “rest on me” in Yoruba—has a remarkable backstory.
The Beyoncé Connection
Adekunle Gold revealed that *Simile* was originally submitted to Beyoncé’s team for her *Lion King* project back in 2019. However, the opportunity arrived during one of the darkest periods of his life, shortly after the loss of his father. Despite the pain, his manager encouraged him to return to the studio.
In his words:
“Grief has a way of numbing even your senses. I don’t remember if it was morning or night, sunny or rainy. My whole world had collapsed. Still, I dragged myself into the studio.”
The song became more than just music—it was a heartfelt cry for direction and healing. When Beyoncé’s team eventually passed on the submission, Adekunle Gold admitted that he felt relief rather than disappointment. For him, *Simile* carried an emotional weight too sacred to let go.
Fans React to His Honesty
Even before the official release of the album, fans have praised Adekunle Gold’s openness and resilience. Many took to social media to applaud his courage in sharing such a vulnerable story. Comments ranged from encouragement to admiration, with some fans highlighting how refreshing it is to see an artist embrace authenticity in an industry often clouded by toxicity.
Love and Support from Family
Amid the noise of online criticism, Adekunle Gold continues to enjoy unwavering support from his wife, fellow singer Simi. The couple, widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most admired celebrity pairs, regularly share heartfelt messages about each other. Recently, Adekunle Gold expressed how proud he is of Simi as she unveiled her own music project, further solidifying their reputation as a powerhouse duo.
A Message Beyond Music
Adekunle Gold’s comments on critics serve as a reminder to his fans and peers alike: negativity often reflects more about the critic than the person being targeted. As he prepares for the release of *Fuji*, the singer seems determined to stay grounded, turn pain into art, and inspire others to rise above the noise.
