Adekunle Gold says daughter shows early signs of becoming a musician

Nigerian Afrobeats singer‑songwriter Adekunle Gold has spoken about the musical environment in his household, noting that his five‑year‑old daughter, Adejare Kosoko, is already showing signs of a budding talent. The comments were made during the latest episode of the “Great Day 20” podcast.

Gold, who rose to prominence with hits such as “Orente” and “Business Man,” highlighted that both he and his wife, fellow artist Simi, have cultivated a family that embraces music. “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. He added that while it is early, Adejare’s curiosity about rhythm and melody suggests she could follow in her parents’ footsteps.

The interview also addressed circulating rumors about the couple’s latest addition to their family. Social media posts had claimed that Gold and Simi had welcomed twins. Gold refuted the speculation, confirming that the couple had a son, not twins. “My wife and I didn’t give birth to twins; it is just internet rumours. We have a son,” he clarified.

Adekunle Gold and Simisola “Simi” Ogunleye were married in a private ceremony in January 2019. Their first child, daughter Adejare, was born in May 2020. The couple’s partnership, both personally and professionally, has been noted for its collaborative projects and mutual support within the Nigerian music scene.

Industry observers see the Gold‑Simi family as emblematic of a generation of artists who balance demanding careers with parenthood. Their openness about family life offers a rare glimpse into how prominent musicians manage creative pursuits while raising children in a highly public environment.

The clarification regarding the birth of a single son also underscores the challenges celebrities face with misinformation spread online. By addressing the rumors directly, Gold contributes to a broader conversation about media literacy and the importance of verifying information before dissemination.

As the Gold family continues to navigate their personal and professional journeys, observers will likely watch Adejare’s development with interest, given the strong musical lineage she inherits. Whether she chooses to pursue a career in music remains speculative, but her early exposure to a household steeped in Afrobeats culture positions her uniquely within Nigeria’s vibrant artistic community.
