Why I Braided My Hair — Adekunle Gold

Nigerian singer, Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, has revealed that braiding his hair was not for branding purposes.

He said he braided his hair because he wanted to try something different.

The ‘Party No Dey Stop’ crooner disclosed this while featuring as a guest on MTV Base Africa’s programme, Touching Base, hosted by actress, Susan Pwajok.

He said, “There was no plan for it [my braided hairstyle] to be like a brand.

“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.”
