Adekunle Gold Talks About Genotype Awareness

During the podcast, Adekunle Gold mentioned that couples must be aware of their genotypes before making long-term relationship decisions. He stated, “There is so much awareness that needs to be done. If you have sickle cells forget about love, you cant do it because it makes no sense.”

He reflected on his own relationship with Simi, explaining that they determined their genotypes early on. He revealed, “I wouldn’t have married my wife if she was SS. When we met the first thing we did was know our genotype and we match. So she is AA.”
