Talented
singer Simi had shared the news of the arrival of her baby girl on Sunday. She
also shared the first glimpse of the baby girl.
Nigerian
singer Adekunle Gold who welcomed a baby girl with his wife Simi, has penned an
emotional message to his new born daughter, Adejare.
In a fan mail
shared by Adekunle Gold, he talked about how he felt when he saw his daughter
for the very first time.
Read below;
”It’s been a
lot right? I know. The violence against women, against black people and this
pandemic was just too much, I had to log out for a bit. I had to check out to
prepare a healthy mind and safe space to welcome my child into the world.
”And even
though I have sad feelings throughout the day about the crisis outside when I
am with my baby, it’s pure unadulterated joy. I cried so much when Adejare came
out. I cried when I first held her. I can’t lie, I still stare at her and shed
a few more. Lol
”It feels
like an obsession really. If someone else is holding Deja, I miss her. I love
our skin to skin time. I love feeding her. I love changing her diapers. I love
everything, including insomnia. I’m obsessed with all her expressions; you need
to see her stank face – it’s hilarious. I have never seen any baby this
beautiful. I mean it. My baby came out with a head full of hair like mine and
the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen like Simi. Wow.
”I feel so
protective over her, and everything happening right now has made me even more
conscious of how I want to raise her. I want her to always know she is loved.
She is powerful. She is pure black girl magic and I will always believe in her.
”I know we
are fighting for so much right now. So much pain and insensitivity of the past
generations are haunting us. I hope we don’t quit fighting for women’s rights
too, because I truly believe if our women are empowered and allowed to lead, we
all would be so much better for it. I know this first hand because Simi is
powerful and my life is better for it.
”While we
fight for today’s problems, let’s also fight for our future. We must ensure we
don’t raise our children with the same consciousness that raised us. We must
raise sons who respect value and revere women and raise daughters that are
strong and fearless. That we raise children who speak up and stand up for what
is right, that we raise children who don’t continue the cycle of abuse, fear,
secrecy and insensitivity that has plagued our own generation and the ones
before us. I pray for justice for all the victims and that if the hand of the
law isn’t a swift enough, that the hand of God will do His thing.
”Above all, I
wish that even in this madness you find pockets of sunshine that help you
breathe and reconnect with yourself, and that you have reasons to feel alive
and happy.
”I’m hugging
and kissing and praying over my unemployed princess, while supporting everyone
in all the other ways I can.
”I pray you
are doing the same too.
”Sending you
loads of love.
”AG Baby is
your baby
”Scratch that
”AG Baby has
a Baby. 🍼
