@TheCxcx: I am going to address your first proposal when I have time. As for your second proposal, I noticed that you uploaded File:Adekunle Gold Portrait.jpg, but didn't send a declaration of cosent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. The image's metadata info states that Victor Onugha owns the copyright to the image. This person needs to signed a declaration of consent form and emailed it to the aforementioned email address. If he doesn't do this, this image will get deleted. I suggest you work on contacting him. In the meantime, the current image linked in the article should remain there until this copyright issue gets resolved. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:14, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Artiste's PR team has requested his lead paragraph be edited as follows. :

Adekunle Kosoko (born 28th January 1987), known professionally as Adekunle Gold, is a Nigerian highlife artiste.

He gained recognition for his first release, “Sade”, a love song which sampled the instrumental from One direction’s “Story of My life”. Just Two weeks after the release of “Sade” on December 19, 2014. Adekunle was contacted by Olamide, to join his music imprint, YBNL. Adekunle hit the ground running, releasing three songs (“Orente”, “Pick Up”, “Ready”) in the run up to release of his debut album, “Gold”. Released on July 25th 2016, “Gold” debuted at number 7 on the Billboard World Albums Chart, with all of its singles enjoying massive radio play. TheCxcx (talk) 10:05, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TheCxcx: I am going to work on this before the end of the day. I already made a few changes per your request. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 12:34, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved @TheCxcx: I have made the necessary changes to the lede per your request. I did not include this statement "On December 19, 2014. Adekunle was contacted by Olamide, to join his music imprint, YBNL" because I could not find a reliable source to support it. I also did not include the statement "hit the ground running" and "enjoying massive radio play" because there are promotional wording. I believe I have addressed your issues. Feel free to leave a message here if you want additional changed made. Thanks. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:22, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    @Versace1608: Thank you. Corrections also noted.
