Simi and Adekunle Gold
Musical couple, Adekunle Kosoko professionally known as Adekunle Gold, and Simisola Ogunleye a.k.a Simi on May 30 welcome their first baby who they have named Adejare Kosoko.
Thirty-three years old AG Baby, as he now prefers to be called with his rebranding, had taken his 32 years old Lagos State-born pregnant wife to the United States on holidays after producing his works to cover the next six months. The idea was for the Duduke crooner to be delivered of the baby in God's Own Land during their holiday.
But all of a sudden, the COVID-19 lockdown set in. And just as the world was looking forward to the time they would bid farewell to the dreaded virus, George Floyd was murdered with leg on the neck by a killer cop.
Now AG, Simi and baby are caught in the web of lockdown and widespread protest in faraway land and cannot return to their fatherland.
Let’s pray all these shall soon pass away so the singing Papa and Mama can Bring Back Our Child (BBOC).
