Adekunle Gold Unveils Deep Personal Journey Behind Upcoming ‘Fuji’ Album
Nigerian afropop sensation Adekunle Gold is baring his soul in his most intimate musical venture yet. The award-winning artist has lifted the curtain on his highly anticipated album “Fuji,” revealing how the iconic Nigerian genre has shaped both his artistry and personal journey.
In a heartfelt Instagram revelation that has fans buzzing, AG Baby – as he’s fondly known – shared how Fuji music was the soundtrack to his Lagos upbringing. “Fuji was the genre that raised me, even when I didn’t realise it,” he reflected, painting a vivid picture of his childhood memories filled with street sounds, owanbe celebrations, and market melodies that epitomized Lagos culture.
But this isn’t just another album drop. Five years in the making, “Fuji” promises to be Adekunle’s most personal work yet, weaving together the threads of his life’s most defining moments. From the heart-wrenching loss of his father to the joy of welcoming his daughter with wife Simi, the album chronicles his evolution both as an artist and a man.
“This album is my story,” the “High” hitmaker shared, detailing how it encompasses everything from lost friendships to celebrated victories. With his characteristic confidence, he added, “my ability to outdo myself continues to amaze me” – a bold statement that has ramped up expectations among his loyal fanbase.
Already, AG has treated fans to two singles from the project – “Coco Money” and “Bobo” – offering a tantalizing preview of what’s to come. In a surprising twist, he’s keeping all featured artists under wraps, wanting listeners to experience the album with fresh ears when it drops on October 3rd.
For an artist who has consistently reinvented himself since his “Sade” days, this return to his roots signals perhaps his most ambitious transformation yet. As Adekunle Gold puts it himself, this is more than music – “it’s survival, it’s storytelling, it’s Lagos itself.
