Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold recently expressed his regret over making a song about an ex-girlfriend who broke his heart. The song in question is “Damn Delilah,” which appears on his debut album About 30.
In a candid revelation, Adekunle Gold shared the backstory behind the track, shedding light on the emotional turmoil he experienced during that time.
In celebration of the album’s sixth anniversary, the singer shared the album cover on his X handle on Sunday, May 27, with the caption: “Happy 6th Anniversary to my beautiful piece of Art. About 30.”
A fan then reposted it with the caption: “Delilah will never forget this album”
“She passed. Sometimes I feel bad for making that record,” Adekunle Gold replied.
“Pls tell us the full story,” a curious fan implored the singer.
Adekunle Gold wrote: “You people. I have told the story many times. Anyway, I was in a relationship with a girl who had a boyfriend (I didn’t know). Me I don fall, but the babe dey plays me. Long story short, one Saturday morning, I got a threatening 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.”
