I Never Wanted To Marry A Singer — Simi

Nigerian singer, Simi, who is married to singer Adekunle Gold has revealed that she initially never wanted to marry a fellow musician.

Simi narrated how she met her husband, Adekunle Gold, on Facebook but she never knew he was a singer as well. According to the singer, when her husband reached out to her on Facebook, she thought he was a fan as she didn’t reply to his message.

Simi made these revelations while speaking on the latest episode of ‘Tea With Tay’ podcast, hosted by Taymesan.

“I didn’t know my husband was singing when I met him because I already said I cannot marry a singer. I thought he was even a fan.

“He used to do this ‘King of Photoshop’ that time’. He sent me a message on Facebook but I never saw it nor did I reply”, she said.

She further revealed that they subsequently became friends before Adekunle eventually ventured into music.

Simi also disclosed that they both got their first record label signing in the same year.

The couple, who have one daughter, recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary.
