Multi-award-winning Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold has officially released his electrifying new single “Coco Money”. The track, which had been teased at an exclusive private event in May, marks the singer-songwriter’s second major release of 2025, following his February hit “
“, and continues his remarkable evolution as one of Afrobeats’ most innovative artists.
Produced by the acclaimed Niphkeys, “Coco Money” represents a masterful fusion of Afro-pop, Afrobeats, and highlife elements, creating an irresistibly danceable anthem that perfectly captures Adekunle Gold’s signature blend of sophisticated lyricism and infectious rhythms. The track’s genius lies in its creative interpolation of Rihanna’s global smash “BBHMM”, reimagined through Adekunle Gold’s unique musical lens to deliver a fresh, contemporary sound that pays homage while establishing its own distinct identity.
Lyrically, “Coco Money” celebrates themes of wealth, success, and unapologetic confidence, with standout lines like “k’owo pe o, k’owo pe, btch better have my money”* serving as both a nod to its inspiration and a bold declaration of Adekunle Gold’s artistic arrival. The song’s title and thematic focus align perfectly with the artist’s recent embrace of a refined “soft life” aesthetic, marking another step in his transformation from the “AG Baby” persona of his early career to his current status as a globally-minded Afrobeats ambassador.
This release comes on the heels of Adekunle Gold’s critically acclaimed 2023 album Tequila Ever After, which cemented his position as one of Nigeria’s most versatile and consistent hitmakers. Since his 2015 breakout single “Sade”, the artist has demonstrated an uncanny ability to evolve his sound while maintaining his core artistic identity, a quality that shines brightly in “Coco Money”.
Early reactions from fans and critics alike have been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the track’s innovative production, catchy hooks, and Adekunle Gold’s smooth, charismatic delivery. Industry insiders are already predicting that “Coco Money” will follow in the footsteps of the artist’s previous hits, potentially becoming one of the defining Afrobeats anthems of 2025.
With its global appeal, club-ready beats, and undeniable swagger, “Coco Money” not only reinforces Adekunle Gold’s position at the forefront of the Afrobeats movement but also signals his ambitions for even greater international recognition. The single serves as an exciting preview of what promises to be a landmark year for the talented artist
