During a recent interview on the Tea with Tay podcast, Simi opened up about how her relationship with Adekunle Gold almost didn’t happen due to his occupation as a musician.
She confessed that when they first met at an event, she had no idea that he was also a musician, which raised concerns for her. As a result, she made a personal decision to never marry an artiste. Little did she know that her future husband fell into that very category.
Simi further revealed that Adekunle initially approached her as a fan, unaware of his musical talents. Despite her reservations, she decided to give their relationship a chance because he was a genuinely nice person. It just goes to show that sometimes love can surprise us in the most unexpected ways.
“When I first met my husband, I didn’t know he was singing because me I already said I cannot marry a singer. I didn’t know he was singing, I think he was even a fan,” Simi said.
Relatedly, Simi disclosed to her fans the reason behind her decision to date her husband, Adekunle Kosoko, also known as Adekunle Gold.
The renowned artist shared that their paths crossed during one of her performances at Bogobiri in Lagos, and their bond initially blossomed from a strong friendship.
Simi revealed that it was Adekunle Gold’s unwavering determination that eventually led her to consider dating him during the early stages of their respective careers.
She admitted that he had been sending her messages on Facebook for quite some time, but it wasn’t until they officially started dating that she took notice.
She said; “In the gospel community, I was pretty well known. And he [Adekunle Gold] had heard my album at that time as well. He has been reaching out to me on Facebook, DMing me on Facebook. But I didn’t see those DMs until we started dating.
“I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with white BYC and jeans. He came to see me perform. I was like, ‘Oh hey! He was like, ‘Oh! I’m such a fan.’ And I was like, ‘Okay!’ [laughs].
“I don’t know, he must have been persistent because there is a friendship that came out from there. I thought he was a really nice guy. We became friends and later that year, he asked me out. I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have nothing. He was a nice guy and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy’ [laughs].”
