Adekunle Gold Releases New Photos As He Gears Up To Release His Debut Album

YBNL act, Adekunle Gold has released new photos of him shot by ace photographer TY Bello as we continue to countdown to the release of his new album – GOLD (even though he is yet to announce a date).
Sharing the story behind the beautiful new portraits, one of which will be his album art, the ‘Orente’ singer wrote: “When the thought to start working on album came, I was not sure what I wanted to call it. I prayed to God (as always) to give me a name.
I started talking to my friends to give me ideas. @miss_zbuhari and I were talking about the album title one evening and she mentioned “Gold” amongst many other names, but I dismissed the idea. 🙈
I took my confusion to Twitter and asked friends to suggest a name. Almost everybody suggested “Gold”. Shame didn’t let me go back to Zahra to tell her I’m going with ‘Gold’ until weeks after. Lol.
I spoke to @tybello about my ideas for the album art. She told me she had gotten a revelation 2 days earlier, about Bazaleel of Exodus 31. She didn’t need to explain too much, because I fell in love with the idea almost immediately and started feeling like Bazaleel.

Pussyfication- By Charlie Boy

Read his piece below...

Remember back in the days, when we used to hear about "bottom power"; how some women screwed their way up to reckoning as either a girlfriend or someone's kept mistress. These days stories like that may have diminished a bit due to the harsh reality of our economy. Jungle don mature, men no dey so drop for women again like before.
Many men are all in hiding, running away from women, especially those carrying shopping list, invoice booklet or those who come as extra baggage with multiple choice problems. OMG Kai!!!!!
