The last two years have been great for afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold. The Nigerian artist has made an impact outside of his home country and his progression eventually earned him a record deal with Def Jam Records. That deal came before the arrival of his most recent album Tequila Ever After which was released back on August 1. The project features 18 songs and contributions from Khalid, Coco Jones, Zinoleesky, Pharrell, and more. Less than two months after its release, Adekunle Gold is ready to bring Tequila Ever After on a North American Tour which kicks off on September 22. The Tequila Ever After Tour will also feature two guests: Nonso Amadi and Masicka.
