Adekunle Gold stated that he had to perform the single, ‘Sade’ several times on that fateful day because it was the only song he had released at the time. He went further to mention that he performed for a total of six minutes and not four minutes as claimed by some social media trolls.
The award musician who has since released four studio albums made this revelation following the heinous pandemonium that occurred at socialite, Poco Lee’s homecoming concert at the Lagos State University (LASU) on Thursday, July 13.
