The ‘One Woman’ singer took to his social media pages to announce the release on Friday.

In ‘5 Star’, the singer reminisces about his childhood battle with sickle cell anemia and his will to overcome it.

Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease.

It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.

In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles, becoming rigid and slowing blood flow.

Adekunle Gold’s latest song is produced by Kel P Vibes. The single delivers a perfect blend of pop and highlife.
