Popular Nigerian musician, Adekunle Gold has received harsh criticism for the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie, The Book of Clarence produced by American rapper, Jay Z, which he featured in.

The singer posted a trailer for the movie on his official Instagram page, which has drawn a lot of criticism from online users who label it blasphemous and belittle the singer.

“Very Controversial… another way the West restructures an important tale and culture to suit their taste(the American behaviour). I respect Art so I’ll see the movie to able to give my opinion and have a proper conversation about it if it arises. But a defamation will not be accepted.”
