Adekunle gave me the idea for ‘Men Are Crazy’ – Simi reveals

Afrobeats singer, Simisola Kosoko who is also known as Simi has revealed the brain behind her controversial song, ‘Men Are Crazy’.

Her latest song which features a colleague singer, Tiwa Savage has generated different reactions on social media. Social media users have berated her over the condescending tone of the song.

Appearing on Angela Yee’s podcast, ‘Way Up,’ Simi stated that her husband, singer Adekunle Gold, gave her the idea for the song.

She said, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy’. He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?’

“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, no one is going to see that coming from me. So I made that song. I had actually finished the song, I did two verses but I felt something was missing. It just hit me and I was like, ‘I will love to have Tiwa on the song.’ We [our music] don’t generally go in the same direction but I was like, it would be so nice to find that balance and do something that would bring our synergies together. So I sent it to Tiwa and she did her verse and we shot the video together.”
