Why I Like To Stay Out Of Trouble – Adekunle Gold

Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has opened up on his deliberate choice of prioritising peace over trouble and conflict in his daily life.

In a recent video, the ‘Orente’ crooner emphasised his preference for a tranquil lifestyle, stating, “Some of us, we just don’t like trouble. In fact, I don’t want to be near it, I just want to live.”

Adekunle Gold attributed his avoidance of conflict to self-awareness about his temperament, confessing, “Me, I know myself. My mouth is not good at all. Anybody who knows me knows my mouth is not good. So, I don’t even want to say anything out of regret, so I’d rather just step away.”

The singer clarified that walking away from conflict doesn’t equate to weakness or an inability to defend himself when necessary.

He further questioned the mindset of those who actively pursue conflict, asking, “What is your mind like? Why do you not like peace? Why do you not like peace of mind? Why don’t you just walk away?”
