Adekunle Gold Discusses The Emotional Experience That Led Him To Cry For The First Time In Several Months

Nigerian singer Adekunle Kososko, known as Adekunle Gold, has discussed a profoundly emotional moment that brought him to tears.

The award-winning artist shared his experience during a podcast released on Thursday, November 27, 2025, providing fans with insight into his personal life and the emotional challenges inherent to his career.

Adekunle Gold recounted that he last cried a few months ago while walking down the street. The tears flowed after witnessing a video call of his daughter, Deja, performing for the first time. He felt a mix of pride, joy, and sadness, particularly because he could not attend the event in person.

He reflected on the emotional difficulty of balancing a demanding music career with family life, acknowledging that such moments illustrate the sacrifices that entertainers often make behind the scenes.

The singer noted that this experience directly inspired his song “My Love Is the Same,” which focuses on themes of family, connection, and unconditional love.

“When was the last time I cried? That was it, two or three months ago,” he shared. “Deja was performing and I wasn’t there, so they called me on video. It was her first performance. I thought, ‘This is crazy.’ It’s part of the price you pay for building a career while trying to look after your family. I wished I was there… I started to cry.”

His candid comments have elicited positive reactions from fans who commend him for being open about fatherhood, vulnerability, and the emotional realities faced by those in the public eye.
