Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Adekunle Gold is set to thrill fans once again as he teases his upcoming single, “Coco Money.” The track, expected to drop later this month, has already generated a buzz on social media, with fans eager to experience what many are calling another potential chart-topper.

“Coco Money” is described as a soft-life anthem, celebrating luxury, success, and the enjoyment of life’s finest things. Adekunle Gold, who has consistently evolved his sound from alternative pop to Afro-fusion, hinted in a teaser video posted on Instagram and X (Twitter) that the song will feature his signature blend of Afrobeat rhythms, smooth vocals, and catchy hooks.

The teaser clip shows Adekunle in a tropical setting, sipping coconut water—a symbolic nod to the song’s title, which suggests a play on both “coconut” and “coco” as slang for money and wealth.

Music insiders believe the song could become another summer anthem, especially as its feel-good vibe aligns with the current global Afrobeats wave.


Fans are speculating that “Coco Money” may be part of Adekunle Gold’s next studio album or deluxe project. His last album, “Tequila Ever After” (2023), was a critical and commercial success, featuring hits like “Party No Dey Stop” and “Ogaranya.”

Since then, Adekunle Gold has been on an impressive international run, performing at major festivals and collaborating with global artists. His transition into a more experimental Afro-fusion style has earned him recognition as one of Afrobeats’ most versatile voices.

Within hours of dropping the teaser, celebrities and fellow artists flooded Adekunle’s comment section with excitement. His wife and fellow musician Simi playfully commented, “My own coco money is already in the house.” Fans also trended hashtags like #CocoMoney and #AdekunleGold on X, with many predicting the song will debut high on streaming charts.


While Adekunle has not confirmed the official release date, industry sources hint that the single will be released before the end of July 2025, ahead of a series of planned performances across Lagos, London, and New York.


Adekunle Gold continues to cement his place as a global Afrobeat star. His unique fashion sense, artistic evolution, and consistent delivery of quality music have made him a household name across Africa and beyond. If “Coco Money” lives up to its hype, it could further push him into the mainstream international scene, similar to the global success of artists like Burna Boy and Rema.
