Simi reveals how she met her husband Adekunle Gold
Sensational Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, a Nigerian musician, narrated how she met the ultimate love of her life Adekunle Gold.
During a recent Beat FM interview, the mother of one revealed the touching anecdote.
She revealed that Adekunle Gold was a major fan of hers when she was into gospel music and had sent her several Facebook messages. She, on the other hand, didn’t see the messages and didn’t know him at the time.
Their paths eventually crossed during one of her musical concerts, when Adekunle Gold came to see her sing. He contacted her after the event to convey his respect as a fan.
Simi claimed that her spouse was relentless in his pursuit of her, going to any length to get her attention. She became his friend because she was drawn to his generosity.
She said he proposed to her that same year, and the rest, as they say, is history. The celebrity couples dated for five years before marrying in 2019.
Her words,
“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].”
