Do2dtun Speaks Out
Reacting to the growing backlash on X, Do2dtun publicly defended the singer.
He praised Adekunle Gold’s consistency in the Nigerian music industry and highlighted the quality of his work over the years.
According to him, the singer’s contributions to Afrobeats deserve respect.
Do2dtun wrote:
> “I think it’s time for you guys to leave AG alone. He gave us classic albums; this guy shut down a whole national theatre. An amazing performer, his craft is exceptionally untouched.
> I see the most despicable comments about him and his family. Men, it’s enough. If we all stand tall in many things in life, let us start with respecting people’s craft and life's work.
> He remains unscarred, and he is still one of the biggest musicians to ever come out of Nigeria. Una carry issue turns to assault and extreme bullying. It’s enough.”
