The "Gold" singer says the song wasn't referring to anyone in particular as many may have thought.

Adekunle Gold sits with Guardian Life to talk about his debut "Gold" album, the reception it has received, controversies with the singles and more.
On
expectations of the album doing well after its release, the singer
revealed that he had been working on the album for two years and
consequently expected a breakthrough of the album.
"I
expected success, but what I didn't expect was a huge outpouring of
love and it's been amazing, ever since I dropped the album, it's been
love all the way, I've travelled out of the country and the reception
has been equally amazing," Adekunle says.

On the controversy
surrounding the single 'Ariwo ko', where on Twitter, some people
suggested he was referring to someone or some group of artistes in
particular, Adekunle clears the air, saying something he saw did inspire
the song but he wasn't calling out anyone in particular or any of the
people that many suggested the song was about.
The 'Sade' crooner
also spoke about being the executive producer for his album when that
title is originally attributed to a label owner, which should be Olamide
in his case.
"For my album "Gold", I pretty
much wrote the music myself. During production, I was the one telling
the producer which direction I wanted everything to go. Olamide really
entrusted everything to me, and was always there to remind me that he
knows I can do it. He'd say "Just see it as your business, I'm only here
to guide you." So based on all this, it really just made sense to put
me as the executive producer. And of course, I got the approval from my
oga (Olamide)."
The singer recently released the video for single 'Friend zone' off the album.
