Adekunle Gold Melts Hearts With Adorable Video of Daughter Deja Playing Talking Drum

Nigerian Afrobeats star Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, has shared a heartwarming glimpse into a precious father-daughter moment — and fans can’t stop gushing.

The singer took to Instagram to post a sweet video of his daughter, Deja, whom he shares with fellow music sensation Simi. In the clip, little Deja confidently taps away on a traditional talking drum, her tiny hands moving with rhythm and joy, while her proud dad beams behind her, singing along to his track Coco Money.

“Deja is talking to you,” Adekunle Gold captioned the post, playfully tying the moment to the drum’s cultural nickname as a “talking” instrument.

Opinion:
There’s something magical about seeing the children of music stars connect with their parents’ art — not just as spectators, but as active participants. For Adekunle Gold and Simi, who have built careers blending tradition with modern sound, this moment feels symbolic: the passing of culture, rhythm, and joy to the next generation.

In a world where celebrity news is often about scandals and controversies, seeing a wholesome, culture-rich, and love-filled moment like this is refreshing. Whether Deja grows up to become a musician or not, one thing is certain — the rhythm is already in her blood.
