Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has expressed regret over creating a song about an ex-girlfriend who broke his heart.
The singer, known for his soulful tunes, revealed his feelings during the sixth anniversary of his debut album, “About 30.”
In a post on his X handle (formerly Twitter), Adekunle Gold celebrated the anniversary by sharing the album cover with the caption, “Happy 6 years Anniversary to my beautiful piece of Art. #About30.”
One of the tracks on the album, “Damn Delilah,” details a heartbreak he endured due to a manipulative former lover. A fan, reminiscing about the song, reposted Adekunle’s anniversary message with the caption, “Delilah will never forget this album.”
In a surprising reply, Adekunle Gold revealed his remorse, saying, “She passed. Sometimes I feel bad for making that record. I was in a relationship with a girl that had a boyfriend (I didn’t know). Me I don fall, but the babe dey play me. Long story short, one Saturday morning, I got a threat call from a random guy saying I should back off, I should never speak to his woman again. I called the babe immediately, she don block me everywhere. Lol. I got so heartbroken and made ‘Damn Delilah.’”
