With the release of his fifth album, ‘Tequila Ever After,’ he continues to push the creative boundaries of his genre.
The album is a celebration of the artist’s renewed spirit and the inspiration he found in tequila. According to the Nigerian singer, he discovered the drink’s transformative powers when he was feeling down after his last album’s postponement.

One artist who has inspired Adekunle Gold’s growth and confidence is African American award-winning Pharrell Williams. In a recent interview with Apple Music Africa Now Radio, he shared how the singer and rapper’s tweet changed his life. According to him, Pharrell tweeted, “You are that person already, just put yourself in that place,” and those words changed his perspective on life. He stopped being afraid and started putting himself out there more, moving like a superstar.
“One of the things I tell people is if you believe in yourself, you rig the game. You rig the game by just being yourself. Those words changed my life and working with Pharrell on this album? An absolute beauty. Everything about this album is a manifestation that’s happened already.”
His collaboration with Pharrell on the album is a dream come true for the Nigerian artist.
