I don't have tattoos now... Not because I don't like them, but because I do not have money...


Allah if I burst... I go draw like Roman Reigns tattoo... Ogun day kill poverty

Married man fa

This guy has transformed oh..

peacettw:


It's really a turn off. Don't understand how a once clean looking gentleman turned into this wannabe tout

You need to understand that I’m their line of work, these are the things that makes them make headlines which I’m turn is good for their business. It’s all for the profession

Life is different with money

when the money comes things becomes worthless to you on the long run.Everyone might say it's better he uses it for something tangible but the tattoo is tangible to him at the moment and is worth it for him.



Anyway, Agriculture is life

Adekunle don fall my hand smh

It's showbiz. If you want to make it, you often have to look the part.

Nigeria isn't always kind to people who sing R&Be, Soul and Blues. We love Afrobeats. If AG had persisted along Orente Road, he would have been a forgotten item by now.

What matters is staying relevant.

Davido still looks respectable, same as a number of our top artists like Tuface etc. Looking half mad isn't synonymous with success in the music industry.

Moreover, he isn't that young anymore. At his level, he should be a mentor to younger artists. This look or whatever he wants to call it doesn't project confidence and what's more does nothing for his brand. It's a complete turnoff

Well said. After all, you tend not to be a MumuYorubaBoy.

The guy is slowly turning to something else...his look nowadays is not appealing

so your own look is appealing.

That’s where you are getting it wrong, those other artists you mentioned, we see their controversies on a daily here. The fact that AGs own is different from theirs does not make it less or more. Davido (my most preferred) is always on the news for whatever reasons while 2face, has his own (I don’t need to remind you of this). All of these basically promotes their craft as long as you and i keeps talking about them so you see their aims are being achieved already. The looks may be turning you off but it’s definitely turning on his money which if you ask me is more important in this case

Shey Adekunle don blend? I am asking because to be in 30BG you must most likely dey game.

Now you digress. The focus is on his looks. Your statement implies that Adekunle Gold has an impeccable character so he decided to compensate for it by altering his looks to look like a bona-fide 'bad' boy. Hogwash...

I know for a fact that your summations are not based on any real data, particularly as it concerns this particular artist. Ever since he 'transformed' I have avoided his music. Maybe your formula works for most, but your industry should also strive to evolve to evaluate what works for the outliers, a group which I suspect Adekunle Gold belongs in.

I guess time will tell. Already, I am wondering if he is on drugs and this concerns a father with a kid. Not good at all for his 'brand'. I wish him luck

The only point I’m trying to make you see here is that In showbiz, people wear a lot of masks to either attain a certain height or to sustain a certain height. Yes some are natural bad boys while others over time just have to do what is meant to be done just to stay up there with the natural bad boys who are making it that way. Also, you fell in love with his music when he started but what’s the use of that if that kind of music is not sustainable considering how Nigeria society is. Do you for once think there are no good rappers in the business, why do you think a lot had to diversify into singing? It’s all to meet up because it’s not sustainable. In the case of AG, I believe he is living up to the new challenge by doing and looking it. There may not be a confirmed statistics but it’s a popular opinion that showbiz thrives on controversies

My guy see Rolls Royce and Lamborghini kuku sell him soul to Davido

Well, at this point, I won't claim to know more than you who is actively engaged with the nuances of your trade. If this change is the best way to sustain his relevance in the music industry, then by all means go for it..

I am just offering my feedback and who knows I may be the only one thinking this way. So do your thing. I just feel sad that a once admirable young man has probably lost his way just to sustain his livelihood.

Cheers

Why is everyone blaming a woman for the choices a grown man chose to make?

Wahala for married woman o.

Very good one but let me quickly chop in this. I do not in any way know more than you do in this business( I’m not even actively involved). The only difference I see here is that while you are disappointed over what has become of him as a result of his change in maybe lyrics and appearance, i on the other hand, though has noticed the sudden change but only trying to understand why he has so changed and use that to appease my disappointment as long as the change is not making him commit any crime or going against the law.

Do have a beautiful day

You are not the only one bro,what most of these musicians fail to understand is that this is Africa where we look at things the prejudice way, do you see how gulder Ultimate search is flopping because they made toke makinwa anchor? Look at the davido gained more fans after his good deeds and burna and wizkid are loosing fans just cause of their arrogance after thier Grammy?

Reading through comments posted here just highlighted the fact that many people still don’t understand the nature of the business. It’s called showbiz for a reason.
An artist, you’ve got to give people something to talk about to stay relevant. AG is doing that right now and it’s working.
Moreover, change is constant. Y’ll don’t expect him to stay the same over the years.

Change is constant? By changing from innocent to rugged,by changing from goodlooking to rugged looking? ......chai the things we celebrate these days.
