I Am Grateful To Olamide For All The Support - Adekunle Gold

Nigerian urban highlife singer, songwriter, Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, says he will be forever grateful to the most consistent Nigerian artist of the last decade, Olamide

Adekunle Gold who abandoned his job as a brand manager for a social media brand activation company in 2014 to focus on his music, was barely getting recognition in the industry until he got noticed by YBNL, owned by Olamide.

Adekunle Gold was signed onto the YBNL label in 2015, which he quit a year later after his deal expired.

Speaking in a recent interview, the ‘Sade’ crooner recalled that his first trip outside the shores of the country was thanks to Olamide.

He said:

“YBNL moved me. I had Sade before YBNL and it was already getting popular. When I got signed to the label, we shot the video and it became like a sensation everywhere. 

Getting signed to YBNL took me to London for the first time. That was in 2015. So, YBNL changed everything for me. I am grateful to Olamide for all the support and inspiration”
