Nigerian Afrobeats singer‑songwriter Adekunle Gold recently spoke about his musical family on the Great Day 20 podcast. He confirmed that, besides his wife—fellow singer‑songwriter Simi—their five‑year‑old daughter Adejare Kosoko is already showing an interest in music, suggesting she might follow in her parents’ footsteps. Gold noted his daughter’s early fascination with melodies and rhythms, saying, “It is interesting to be married to another fantastic singer‑songwriter and now our daughter is already giving signs that she might be one for the music as well.” He added that the family’s shared love of music creates an environment where talent can develop naturally.
The interview also addressed circulating rumors about the couple’s recent birth. Social media speculation had claimed that Gold and Simi had welcomed twins, but Gold refuted this, stating, “My wife and I didn’t give birth to twins; it is just internet rumours. We have a son.” Adekunle Gold and Simi were married in a private ceremony in January 2019, and their first child, Adejare, was born in May 2020. The child has become a frequent subject of media attention due to the parents’ prominence in the Nigerian music scene.
The couple’s collaborative work—both as individual artists and occasional joint projects—has raised their profile within the broader Afrobeats community. Gold’s comments underscore the significance of familial support in nurturing artistic talent. While it is still early to predict Adejare’s future career path, her apparent gravitation toward music adds a personal dimension to the public personas of one of Nigeria’s leading musical couples. The clarification regarding the alleged twins also highlights how quickly unverified information spreads on digital platforms and the importance of direct statements from public figures to address such rumors. As Gold and Simi continue to evolve their careers, both individually and as a family unit, their developments will likely remain of interest to fans and observers of the African music industry.
