Nigerian singer and songwriter Adekunle Gold, popularly known as AG Baby, has stirred up the internet with his bold take on life. In a recent post on his official X page, the Orente hitmaker declared that a little wickedness is essential for thriving in today’s world.
Reflecting on his personal experiences, the star, who recently marked 10 years in the music industry, shared:
“Took me a while, but I can confirm now that in this life, you need a sprinkle of wickedness to thrive. Kindness go turn you to mumu.”
The post quickly went viral, sparking heated discussions online. Fans and critics alike shared mixed reactions to the singer’s unapologetic stance. Some agreed with him, highlighting how kindness is often mistaken for weakness, while others argued that setting boundaries is key without resorting to “wickedness.”
Here’s what netizens had to say:
• @Spice_blender: “Being too accessible and too nice never ends well. Always have boundaries and don’t be scared to say no.”
• @Mysho_dgreat: “Totally correct. The good, nice, and kind-hearted people are always the victims of circumstance.”
• @Modellah: “It’s not wickedness, it’s boundaries.”
• @Lucas_ugoh: “Wicked and ungrateful people just turn good people into something else.”
• @Cute_ellams: “Be kind! Don’t be nice! If you understand the difference, you will go far in life.”
Some fans even joked that AG Baby was just learning what they had discovered long ago:
• @Supreme_5505: “You just dey learn lol 😂.”
• @Preshly_22: “No lies oh. If you’re too kind, they think they’re using you.”
This viral moment comes shortly after an emotional highlight from Adekunle Gold’s recent Lagos concert, where his wife, Simi, and their daughter, Adejare, sent him a touching voice message celebrating his decade-long career.
AG Baby’s stance has undoubtedly fueled conversations about kindness, boundaries, and the fine line between protecting yourself and being “wicked.” Whether you agree with him or not, one thing is clear: the singer has once again captured the internet’s attention.
