Adekunle Gold Shares 'God-Inspired' Photos And A Message

The 'Pick Up' crooner, singer and graphic designer under the YBNL label, has shared some photos taken by TY Bello, who has been quite busy with photography these days, and he attaches a long story to it.

See his post and the picture:

Dreams still come true! Thank you Bolanle 💛 #Repost @bolinto with @repostapp ・・・ #MCM @adekunlegold I talking to a friend the other day about how happy I am for you, and how I remember when you came on " Moments with Mo" three years ago for an episode about your viral photoshop pictures. Then you probably had the dream to be a singer, you probably had music that you had already recorded but you didn't talk about it. Three years later people who thought that photoshop was your only talent don't even remember you for that. They know you for the music. Now you are the star that people will want to photoshop themselves into your pics. If there is anything I love in life, it's seeing people dreams come true. Seeing people with gifts and talents shine despite the odds. The Nigerian music industry would have said your music isn't meant to work in this market, but talent is talent! I'm inspired. Keep the dream alive guys. Photocredit @tybello #mondayinspiration #talentistalent

God inspired this shoot! Please Read her story💛 #Repost @tybello with @repostapp ・・・ ADEKUNLE GOLD : BECOMING KING . I'm looking forward to attending his coronation .. I got to hear unreleased music while I made his portraits . ...Nothing quite like his sound .. He's the real deal...!He's about to be crowned and I'm certain. Im a song writer myself ..so I can tell... Nigeria and indeed the world are about to discover their new favorite genius ...One day I'll be boasting about how I heard those songs before they came out .. The idea for @adekunlegold 's portraits came two days before he called me . I had just read about Bezaleel on Exodus 31 .. And how God gave him creative genius to work with Gold , silver and bronze . I had made some art images that emotionally said everything I wanted but just never felt quite right ... Bezaleel's work spoke to me .. My work was missing some metal .So I began to study the use of metal in sculpture and design ....how to bring that into my work I was trying to figure out which of my artist friends I'd like to collaborate with when Adekunle Gold's messages started flooding in . .. He sent me photographs of designs and concepts with gold elements and asked me what I thought ... I just smiled .. God had gifted me beautiful work and had taken time to prepare me . I tried to stay calm as I started going on about how I was tying to decode Exodus 31 and bring it into my work .. And roughly described some ideas that I had for his album art .. I didn't need to say much more .. He was completely in . I collaborated with Sobukola Oluwanisola , an artist friend of mine and we decided on using recycled metal built into crowns and deconstructed as pieces for the portraits . So here are our portraits Rustic and futuristic .. Our Adire clad .. King explorer ..Ready to launch !!#tybellophotography #adekunlegold #gold #music #collaboration #manandmetal #phaseone #profoto

When the thought to start working on album came, I was not sure what I wanted to call it. I prayed to God(as always) to give me a name. I started talking to my friends to give me ideas. @miss_zbuhari and I were talking about the album title one evening and she mentioned "Gold" amongst many other names, but I dismissed the idea. 🙈 I took my confusion to Twitter and asked friends to suggest a name. Almost everybody suggested "Gold". Shame didn't let me go back to Zahra to tell her I'm going with 'Gold' until weeks after. Lol. I spoke to @tybello about my ideas for the album art. She told me she had gotten a revelation 2 days earlier, about Bazaleel of Exodus 31. She didn't need to explain too much, because I fell in love with the idea almost immediately and started feeling like Bazaleel. I had an amazing time working with @tybello. She's phenomenal. I was thrilled that she loved the songs on the album, even though they weren't finished. Thank you TY! Stay tuned guys, more exciting news coming up #StayGold💛
