Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold has ignited a heated debate on social media with his claim that “kindness go turn you to mumu” (kindness makes one foolish).
Adekunle Gold made the statement on kindness in a tweet shared on his X account on Monday, December 16, 2024 asserting that a “sprinkle of wickedness” is necessary to thrive in the world.
Adekunle Gold’s tweet has sparked a flurry of reactions, with some users agreeing with his statement, while others have vehemently disagreed. One of his followers, Oludotun Sunday, described the analogy as a “big fat lie,” maintaining that kind people never regret their kindness and do not wish to be wicked.
Sunday argued that kind individuals are genuine and do not nurse the idea of being two-faced, adding that only wicked people can be deceitful. As the discussion continues to unfold, fans and followers are left to ponder the validity of Adekunle Gold’s statement.
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.

This is a hot fat lie
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
