Followers of Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold were left in confusion after he tweeted in Swahili.

Adekunle Gold was in Kenya recently and it looks like he has picked up some Swahili. He is already back in Nigeria but left many surprised with a tweet that announced that he will be dropping a new single in January.

"Niaje wadau, Nadai kutoa single moja apo January, alafu naangusha album. Mazee nangoja tu waase nguyaz wasikie hii kazi fiti jo," he tweeted, loosely translated to "Hi guys, I plan to release a new single in January, then I'll drop an album. I'm looking forward to you guys listening to this project."

Adekunle Gold has already announced that his fourth studio album will be dropping in February 2022. But while Kenyans and followers in East Africa perfectly understood what the singer had tweeted, many others had no idea what language it was, with some thinking it was Yoruba.

"Pls not all of your fans understand Yoruba," one user replied to the tweet.

"As an observer, I did not understand what you wrote in this tweet but I believe that whatever you wrote is true. Keep doing good songs my brother, you have stamped yourself in the industry as a serial hitmaker and you are good at it. Stay fly. The observer," said another user.

Another tweep thought Adekunle Gold had tweeted in one of the languages in Ghana. "AG spent just few days in Ghana, e don dey speak language. If i travel to Canada and I started conversing in Oral English and one mad man troll me here, I will swear for the person."

Those who understood the tweet had a field day, bringing out all kinds of their creativity in their replies.

"Tangu adekunle wanjohi  agundue kenya inalipa kuliko nigeria shows kidogo aanze kutweet kisapere kama samido," one of the Swahili speaking Twitter user said, loosely translated to "Since Adekunle Gold knew Kenyan shows pays than Nigerian soon he will start tweeting in Kikuyu (one of the native languages in Kenya)."

"Vile mazee Unaongea Fiti Jo,yafaa album iwe na ata single moja ya kiswahili kingi ukimshirikisha Kondeboi Mjeshi harmonize!" read another reply, translated to "the way you're speaking well, the album should have one Swahili single featuring Harmonize".

Adekunle Gold's upcoming album scheduled for release on February 4, 2022, is titled 'Catch Me If You Can'.
