ADEKUNLE GOLD HONOURED WITH STREET NAMED AFTER HIM IN LAGOS
Nigerian music sensation, Adekunle Gold, has been honoured with a street named after him in Lagos.
The 38-year-old artist shared the touching moment with fans on Instagram, posting a video of the unveiling ceremony.
In the clip, Adekunle Gold appeared alongside his wife, Simi, and their daughter, Deja, as they unveiled the new signpost bearing his full name, “Adekunle Kosoko Street.”
Expressing gratitude for the recognition, the “Sade” hitmaker wrote:
“Adekunle Kosoko Street. The city that raised me now carries my name. Thank you, Lord, for my many blessings.”
The honour holds special significance for the singer, who descends from the historic Kosoko royal family of Lagos Island. His lineage traces back to Oba Kosoko, the former king of Lagos who ruled from 1845 to 1851.
