Six years ago, in 2018, Adekunle Gold released his sophomore album ‘About 30.’ The Headies nominated album, which had hit singles such as ‘Ire,’ ‘Money,’ and ‘Call On Me,’ began Adekunle Gold’s transition into Afro-Pop fully.
In a Q&A session with his fans on X on Sunday, May 26, 2024, the music star disclosed that ‘Call On Me‘ was a transition he considers the biggest risk of his career.
“It took a lot to release that song! I was afraid because it was very new, and it’d appear strange to fans, but mo stubborn, so I did it afraid. I’m proud I took the biggest risk of my career with that song!” he said.
Although it was the biggest risk, it was Adekunle Gold’s first successful attempt at Afro-Pop. He further revealed during the Q&A that two other songs from the album, Damn Delilah and Nurse Alabeere, were written about an ex.
“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,” he added.
