Popular Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold has shared details of how he welcomed his first child with his singer-wife, Simi.
The couple announced the birth of their baby girl, Adejare, on Sunday.
Adekunle Gold said he cried when the new born came out.
He wrote: โItโs been a lot right? I know. The violence against women, against black people and this pandemic, was just too much, I had to log out for a bit. I had to check out to prepare a healthy mind and safe space to welcome my child into the world.
โAnd even though I have sad feelings throughout the day about the crisis outside when I am with my baby, itโs pure unadulterated joy. I cried so much when Adejare came out. I cried when I first held her. I canโt lie, I still stare at her and shed a few more. Lol.
โIโm obsessed with all her expressions; you need to see her stank face โ itโs hilarious. I have never seen any baby this beautiful. I mean it. My baby came out with a head full of hair like mine and the most beautiful face Iโve ever seen like Simi. Wow.
โI feel so protective over her, and everything happening right now has made me even more conscious of how I want to raise her. I want her to always know she is loved. She is powerful. She is pure black girl magic and I will always believe in her.โ
