The gospel music community is mourning the loss of Aduke Ajayi, known as Aduke Gold, who passed away on Tuesday, August 13. Esteemed gospel artist Esther Igbeke shared the news on social media with a heartfelt tribute, saying, “A general has fallen. RIP.”
Aduke Gold gained public attention with her single “Nitori 0go” from her eight-track album. This release became popular on social media, earning her a devoted following. However, her influence went beyond her music; her life story inspired many.

She focused her career on helping children with special needs, including those with autism, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia.
Aduke Gold’s legacy combines uplifting music and a compelling life story of perseverance and dedication. Her contributions to gospel music and her compassionate work with children will be remembered and celebrated by all who knew her or were touched by her music.
