I Was Merely Joking About Dating Adesua Etomi – Adekunle Gold

Singer Adekunle Gold, has finally addressed asking newly married actress Adesua Etomi out on a date several weeks ago.

The singer had tweeted revealing he asked Adesua out but was told to get 50000 retweets before she would go on a date with him. He was still working on the retweets when she announced her engagement to Banky.

Speaking on the issue with Saturday Beats, Gold said;

People do not know if Adesua is just my friend. They wouldn’t know if my tweet was just banter or if it was real. I guess a lot of people thought it was real and I was asking Adesua out online. Why would I do that? We were just joking and she is my friend.

I even tweeted when she got engaged that I’d not even got the 50, 000 retweets she asked for and she was already engaged. It was just banter but I guess people see what they want to see. Adesua and I never dated; we were/are just friends.

“If we had dated, I would have definitely worked towards marrying her. I mean, who would not want to marry Adesua? That is ‘if’ we had dated but that was never the case.
