I Just Want To Live’ — Adekunle Gold’s Powerful Reason For Choosing Peace Over Drama

In a video shared on social media on Thursday by an X user, the Orente crooner said he dislikes conflict and prefers to live quietly without unnecessary drama.

He noted that he consciously avoids situations that could lead to problems because his priority is a calm, stable life. According to the singer, he knows himself well enough to understand that he might say things he would later regret when tensions rise.

As a result, Adekunle Gold said he often withdraws from heated situations before they escalate into serious conflicts.

He stressed that walking away from trouble should not be mistaken for weakness or an inability to stand up for himself when necessary. Rather, he said he places a higher value on his peace of mind than on engaging in arguments or fights.

The father of two also questioned why some people seem drawn to conflict instead of choosing peace and rest. He added that stepping away from negativity is sometimes the best decision for personal growth and inner peace.

“Some of us just don’t like trouble. I don’t even want to be close to it — I just want to live,” he said.

“I know myself. My mouth isn’t good at all, and I don’t want to say something I’ll regret later, so I’d rather walk away.

“Why don’t people like peace of mind? Why not just choose peace and walk away?”
