Alternative and Afropop singer, Adekunle Gold gave a brilliant performance at the sold-out #About30 concert held at London’s Indigo at the O2. Bringing his heritage to stage, he thrilled the audience with the African culture including dances. His sister rendered an “oriki” while flanked by a Yoruba talking drummer.

The soulful singer, Simi, joined him on stage to give her renditions but what caught our attention was the close attempt to kiss each other fueling rumours that the two are secretly dating. Also, Simi’s tummy looked unusually bigger forcing fans to ask her if she is pregnant.
