Nigerian Singer Adekunle Gold Shares Emotional Moment Missing Deja's Performance (Video)

Nigerian superstar Adekunle Gold

Afrobeat sensation Adekunle Gold recently opened up about a deeply emotional moment that left him in tears.

During an intimate podcast interview, the award-winning artist confessed the last time he shed tears was just months ago while strolling through his neighborhood.

This tender moment unfolded when Gold witnessed, via video call, his young daughter Deja taking the stage for her very first performance.

Overcome with bittersweet emotions, the singer described the profound mix of fatherly pride and heartbreaking absence he felt being unable to attend in person.

This powerful experience shaped Gold’s artistic process, directly inspiring his heartfelt track “My Love is the Same” from his latest album.

In his own words: “That performance… it hit me differently. Seeing Deja up there through a phone screen when every fiber of me wanted to be there in the crowd cheering loudest – that’s when the tears came.”

The “High” hitmaker continued: “Success comes with beautiful moments and painful sacrifices. That day reminded me why every song, every tour, every late night in the studio matters – it’s all for moments like these.”
