AFROBEAT artist, Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, has explained what prompted him to change his familiar afro hairstyle to braided hair.
The 36-year-old songwriter explained that changing his hair to braids was not for branding purposes, revealing that he just wanted to try it out after his hair had fully grown.
Speaking as a guest on MTV Base Africa’s programme, Touching Base, hosted by actress Susan Pwajok, Adekunle Gold said: “There was no plan for it to be like a brand.
“In 2019, my hair was growing. Remember when I had that punk? And I was like, let me even try a new side of me. Let me even try to grow this hair and then make it. And I have a really nice core pattern, whatever you guys called it.
Adekunle, who holds an HND in Arts and Design from the Lagos State Polytechnic, released his fifth studio album, Tequila Ever After, which has received positive feedback and reviews from music lovers.
