Award winning Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, has set tongues wagging with the release of the visuals for his latest hit track, The Life I Chose.
The Nigerian Afrobeat star, who recently dazzled audiences at the OVO Arena in London, unveiled a sneak peek of the music video on his Instagram page on Monday, March 4, 2024, triggering a flurry of reactions among fans online.
In the tantalizing music video out on YouTube, Adekunle Gold is depicted in a serene setting, seated comfortably on a chair as he passionately delivers the song’s lyrics. The imagery suggests a life of ease and contentment, captivating viewers with its simplicity.
However, it is another scene from the music video posted on his Instagram page that has stirred significant intrigue and debate. The clip captures Adekunle Gold fixated on a cross mounted on the wall, with a crown-like adornment resembling the iconic crown of thorns associated with Jesus Christ placed upon his head.
