Nigerian Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Adekunle Kosoko, better known as Adekunle Gold has recounted why he released hit song, ‘Damn Delilah’
He, however, told his fan that he regretted making a record about an ex-girlfriend who broke his heart because she is now late.
It all began when the singer, while marking the sixth anniversary of his debut album ‘About 30′ on Sunday, shared the album cover on his X handle with the caption, “Happy 6 years Anniversary to my beautiful piece of Art. [Hash tag] About30.”

A fan then reposted it with a reference to a song on the album, ‘Damn Delilah’, which described a heartbreak the singer suffered in the hands of a manipulative lady.
Captioning the post, the fan wrote: “Delilah will never forget this album [laughing emoji].”
Adekunle Gold then replied, “She passed. Sometimes I feel bad for making that record.”
Not satisfied, another curious fan wrote, “Pls tell us the full story.”
Responding, the singer said, “You people [stress emoji]. I have told the story many times. Anyways, I was in a relationship with a girl that had a boyfriend (I didn’t know). Me I don fall, but the babe dey play me. Long story short, one Saturday morning, I got a threat call from a random guy saying I should back off, I should never speak to his woman again. I called the babe immediately, she don block me everywhere. Lol. I got so heartbroken and made Damn Delilah.”
