Adekunle Gold Honours Late Sister With ‘Ire’

Nigerian soul singer, Adekunle Gold has revealed that his latest single “Ire” is dedicated to the memory of his deceased sister, Busayo.

At the end of the video, the phrase “For Busayo” appeared, leaving people in mystery of who Busayo is.

Paying attention to the demands of his audience, the singer took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to explain who she is.

Adekunle said, “Busayo is my sister. We lost her in 2011 to a Heart Complication. I’m fiercely protective of my family but I didn’t think I could skip out one of my favorite memories or people in life.”

The “Orente” singer further explained how she was represented in the song video and how much he misses her.

He wrote, “Busayo was symbolically represented by the little girl skipping around me in the video as that is who she was in real life.

“She never left my side, matter of fact, she was my younger twin. We looked alike and she could sing for the whole of AFRICA.

“In my heart, I believe I sing for the both of us; It was only right that I dedicated the video to her memory…
