Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has claimed wife, Simi, and daughter, Adejare, are the heart of his world and he cannot afford to fail them.
The ‘FUJI’ crooner, on the NotJustOk podcast, stressed that while he could handle a faltering music career, failing as a father or man is non-negotiable.
Inspired by his desire to give Adejare a better childhood, Adekunle said he poured this resolve into songs like ‘My Love Is The Same’.
He said: “All I wanted to be is to do more for my own daughter because I can’t afford to bring her to the kind of life that I grow up living. It has to be way better. And that’s why I’m working hard.
“My family is my centre. I don’t joke with my family. I can afford to be a failed musician, not a failed father or a man. That’s not negotiable for me.”
