Season 9 winner of the MTN Project Fame has been announced, and at the closing ceremony today in Lagos, the organisation invited YBNL’s Adekunle Gold to headline the occasion.
This same singer they twice rejected years ago.
“7 and 8 years ago, I auditioned for MTN project Fame. I nor enter,” the ‘Shade’ singer tweeted today. “Today, I was a guest performer on the show.”
Adekunle Gold has on of the most inspiring journeys.
In 2013, he introduced himself on Facebook as a struggling sculptor and aspiring graphic artist with big dreams.
“Ceramist, sculptor, brand developer, graphic artist, SINGER,” he said. “You’d agree that I’m a ‘man of the arts’. Save this picture. You’ll join me in saying my success story soonest.”
He never got distracted.
At the 2015 edition of the Headies Awards, the top YBNL act won the award for Best Alternative Song, beating the likes of Asa and Bez. Before then, at the 2015 AFRIMA awards, he won the Revelation of the year award.
Now, Gold graces top platforms, include prestigious ones he was previously denied as a dreamer.
“There’s a God in heaven and he love me,” he says today.
