Nigerian Singer, Simi, has said she never intended to marry Adekunle Gold because she does not have a thing for musicians.
The singer stated this while narrating how she met her husband, Adekunle Gold, in an interview on the ‘Tea With Tay’ podcast.
Simi said she met Adekunle as a graphics designer and thought he was just a fan who had been waiting to connect with her on Facebook.
“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. I sensed that he would be good for me.”
Simi also revealed she will be releasing an album this year.
According to the singer featured on Alicia Keys’ tour, she noted that if a woman wants to be a full housewife with nine nannies, she should be allowed to do so because that is where true freedom is.
Simi and Adekunle Gold got married in January 2019, and are blessed with a daughter, Adejare.
