Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has cleared the air on swirling rumors about his growing family, confirming that he and his wife, Simi, welcomed a baby boy, not twins as widely reported.
The clarification came during an appearance on Great Day Houston, where the host referenced earlier claims that the couple had welcomed twins. Adekunle Gold immediately corrected the narrative.
“Not even twins. That’s the internet, by the way. We have a son,” he said, shutting down months of speculation.
The confusion stems from a cryptic post he shared earlier in the year. At the time, the singer wrote, “Asked God for another child and He blessed me double,” alongside an image of two baby outfits captioned “Double Trouble.” The post quickly fueled assumptions that the couple was expecting or had welcomed twins, a narrative that spread across blogs and entertainment platforms.
Now, with the singer’s direct confirmation, the story has been firmly corrected.
Beyond the clarification, Adekunle Gold also offered insight into life at home with a fellow artist. Speaking about his marriage, he described it as creatively fulfilling, noting that being with Simi brings a unique dynamic to both their personal and professional lives.
“It’s interesting to be married to another fantastic songwriter. We bounce off ideas in the home,” he said, highlighting how their shared passion for music influences their daily lives.
The couple, who already share a six-year-old daughter, appear to be building a household where creativity runs naturally. According to Gold, their daughter is already showing signs of musical interest, suggesting that the family’s artistic influence may extend to the next generation.
The interview also doubled as a moment to spotlight his evolving sound.
Adekunle Gold confirmed the release of his new album, Fuji Xtra, describing his current style as “electrofuji,” a blend of traditional fuji elements with modern, high-energy production. The project reflects his continued experimentation and effort to carve out a distinct sonic identity within Afrobeats.
The clarification about his family, however, has taken center stage. In an era where social media narratives can quickly become accepted as fact, his response highlights how easily speculation can outpace reality, especially when fueled by ambiguous posts.
For fans, the takeaway is simple: There are no twins, just a new addition to the family, as Adekunle Gold and Simi continue to balance parenthood with their thriving music careers.
And if anything, the moment reinforces a familiar truth in entertainment: the internet can guess, but the artist always has the final word.
