Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Foolish" by Adekunle Gold is a commentary on the behavior of individuals who are ignorant, naive, and lack common sense. The song is about someone who does foolish things like smoking a petrol-filled nylon without caring about the danger they are exposing themselves to. The title "Mr. Foolish" could refer to anyone who fits this description.


The first verse paints a picture of someone riding a tricycle on a railway line without any regard for their own safety. They carry petrol in a nylon bag and smoke it while taking selfies, showing their lack of sense even in the face of a potential explosion. In the chorus, Adekunle Gold repeats the phrase "Mr. Foolish" to emphasize the point about this person's foolishness.


The second verse is a collaboration with Seun Kuti and Golden Child, and they highlight the foolishness of someone who bleaches their skin, poses with foreign items, talks too much, and knows nothing. The song ends with a call to this individual to remove themselves from Adekunle Gold's way so that he can go on with his life without encountering their foolishness.
