Adekunle Gold’s inclusion in the soundtrack of the Hollywood movie, The Book of Clarence, has received mixed reviews and sparked controversy.
While some fans and critics appreciate the introduction of Nigerian music into mainstream cinema, others argue that it might not align with the film’s theme or appeal to the target audience.
Despite the criticism, Adekunle Gold and Yemi Alade are expected to gain international recognition and success through their involvement in the movie.
The film itself is highly anticipated, and fans are excited about the star-studded soundtrack.
In addition to Adekunle Gold and Yemi Alade, renowned international artists like Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Kid Cudi, Jorja Smith, and Shabba Ranks will also contribute to the soundtrack.
Jay Z, in particular, holds a significant role as both a producer and a contributor of new music for the film.
Overall, the inclusion of Adekunle Gold and Yemi Alade, along with the impressive lineup of international performers, adds excitement and anticipation to the release of The Book of Clarence.
Sharing the movie trailer, Adekunle Gold wrote: “It’s great to see such incredible representation in a first-of-its-kind film. #TheBookofClarence, a film by @Jeymes features new music from myself, @JAYZ @liltunechi @yemialade, and more. Exclusively in movie theaters January 12.”
However, the film has drawn a lot of criticism from online users who label it blasphemous and disparage the singer.
