The well-known Nigerian artist Adekunle Kosoko, also known by his stage name Adekunle Gold, has stated that he braided his hair not for branding purposes but rather out of a desire for personal development.
The musician, known for hits like “Party No Dey Stop,” revealed that he chose braided hair as a way to experiment with a fresh appearance. During his visit as a guest on the Susan Pwajok-hosted MTV Base Africa program “Touching Base,” he talked frankly about this.
There was no intention for my braided hairstyle to become a brand, he claimed.
“In 2019, my hair was growing. Remember when I had that punk. And I was like, let me even try a new side of me. Let me even try to grow this hair and then make it. And I have really nice core pattern, whatever you guys called it. Core texture [laughs].
“But, yeah. I just decided to grow it and it looks good on me.”
