Simi reveals how she met her husband Adekunle Gold

Talented Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko popularly known as Simi, has disclosed how she met her husband and father to her child, singer Adekunle Gold.

She shared their true love story in a recent interview on Beat FM.

Simi when she used to create gospel music, Adekunle Gold was a huge fan of hers and sent her beautiful messages on Facebook.

She however stated that she did not see those messages and didn’t know him at the time.

They finally met at one of her musical performances when Adekunle Gold attended the show to watch her perform.

He spoke to her after the event to express his admiration as a fan.

According to Simi, her husband pursued her persistently and asked her to be his girlfriend that same year.

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].”
