Nigerian Singer, Simisola Ogunleye Kosoko, popularly known as Simi has revealed that she does not charge artists for a feature.
Simi made this known in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.
According to the mother of one, she’s selective of the kind of songs she features in and will only feature in the song if she really likes it.
“Till this moment, I have never charged for a feature. For me to do a feature, I have to really like it.
“I have to like the song. If I like the song, give me half a day, I am done. If I don’t like the song I will most likely say no. It’s not personal. I can take a ‘No. Things are not personal, it’s just what it is .”
Born Simisola Ogunleye, over the years since she broke out with “Tiff”, her name has become a household one, with her songs earning her a spot as a highly-loved act. Interestingly, despite Simi’s sweetheart disposition, she’s one singer who never shies away from saying things as it is AKA ‘no gree for anybody’, no matter who it is.
This episode dives into that Simply Simi trait and her unshakeable sense of self-validation by going back to the very beginning; her childhood– while touching on her foray into music, her relationship with her mother and how her love story with Adekunle Gold started.
This episode contains exclusives on the album and helpful insights on building confidence in situations where you’re uncertain so it’s not only for fans but for everyone trying to be a better version of themselves.
