Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold has ignited a heated discussion on social media with his assertion that kindness can make one appear foolish. In a recent tweet, the singer expressed his belief that a touch of wickedness is necessary to thrive in life.
“Took me a while, but I can confirm now that in this life, you need a sprinkle of wickedness to thrive. Kindness go turn you to mumu,” Adekunle Gold stated.
However, his follower, Oludotun Sunday, strongly disagreed with this analogy, labeling it a “big fat lie.” Sunday emphasized that kind individuals never regret their kindness and do not aspire to be wicked.
“Kind people are kind and never regret their kindness. If you are wicked, you are wicked. If you are kind, you can never wish and do not need to be wicked. Kind people never nurse that idea, only wicked people can be two-faced,” Sunday countered.
Adekunle Gold’s comment has sparked a lively debate among fans and followers, with some supporting his viewpoint and others opposing it. The discussion raises important questions about the value of kindness and the role of empathy in achieving success.
