From ignoring Facebook messages to couples and now parents of a beautiful baby girl. The amazing Nigerian artist Simi recently revealed the details of her surprise romance with fellow musician Adekunle Gold in an unexpected disclosure. During a lively conversation on the “Tea With Tay” podcast, Simi shared the endearing story of how she met her current husband, contradicting her prior belief that it was not possible to marry a musician.
The “Duduke” crooner took a trip down memory lane, recounting the days when she crossed paths with Adekunle Gold before the musical spotlight took center stage in their lives. Simi, who was working as a graphic designer at the time, shared that she initially mistook the talented artist for a fan patiently waiting to slide into her Facebook messages. When we initially met, I was totally ignorant of Adekunle’s musical pursuits since I had this taboo against marrying singers. As we used to call him, the ‘King of Photoshop,’ I actually assumed he was simply a fan,” Simi laughed, sharing a lighthearted moniker from their early years.
The fact that Adekunle Gold contacted Simi via Facebook adds even more beauty to this love tale. But ironically, Simi never saw the message, and Adekunle was left in virtual darkness by her initial answer. However, the cosmos had other intentions for the two, as fate would have it.”I never saw the message he sent on Facebook, and I didn’t respond,” Simi admitted. However, I got a weird sensation that we would click.
“As the narrative progressed, it was clear that love had a way of arranging a lovely tune for these two gifted individuals. The touching story of Simi and Adekunle Gold, who went from an awkward Facebook message to become one of Nigeria’s power couples, demonstrates how love frequently finds its rhythm in the most unexpected places. Therefore, Simi and Adekunle Gold’s love story lives on as a lovely melody in the big symphony of life, whether it was inspired by a fan message or a chance encounter.
