Adekunle Gold reveals writing song for Beyonce

Nigerian singer and Songwriter Adekunle Gold, has revealed that he once wrote a song for American hitmaker Beyonce.

While speaking about his upcoming album, the artist revealed that he was invited by Beyoncé’s team in 2019, to contribute to her album project.

Adekunle Gold also stated that he was grieving during that period so he could not concentrate on making music.

“At the time, I was too consumed by grief to even think about music. But one day I forced myself back into the studio. Out of that pain, I wrote Simile. For years the track remained unreleased until 2024, when my longtime collaborator Michael replayed it during a session. It reminded me that even in my deepest loss, I was not alone. I had God to lean on. Grief isn’t just about losing a parent. It can be the loss of a person, a friendship, a dream, or even a version of yourself; whatever it is, you don’t have to carry it alone,” he said.
