Nigerian Afrobeats singer‑songwriter Adekunle Gold shared insights into his musical family during a recent interview on the Great Day 20 podcast. The artist confirmed that, in addition to his wife, fellow singer‑songwriter Simi, their five‑year‑old daughter Adejare Kosoko is already showing an interest in music, suggesting she could follow her parents’ footsteps.
Gold explained that he has observed his daughter’s early fascination with melodies and rhythms, noting that “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 said 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 suggested that Gold and Simi had welcomed twins. Gold refuted the claim, stating that the couple had only welcomed a son. “My wife and I didn’t give birth to twins, it is just internet rumours. We have a son,” he said.
Adekunle Gold and Simi were married in a private ceremony in January 2019. Their first child, Adejare, was born in May 2020 and 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 contributed to a growing profile for the family within the broader Afrobeats community.
Gold’s comments underscore the significance of familial support in nurturing artistic talent. While it remains early to predict Adejare’s future career path, the observation that she is already gravitating 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 the rapid spread of unverified information on digital platforms, and the need for 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.
