Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, a sensational Nigerian female singer, recently shared the story of her first encounter with her now-husband and colleague, Adekunle Gold.
In an interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Simi revealed that they had been dating for five years before finally tying the knot in 2019.

According to Simi, Adekunle Gold had been sending her messages via Facebook for quite some time, but she hadn’t noticed until they began dating.
The couple eventually met at one of Simi’s gospel concerts, which Adekunle Gold attended wearing a white BYC (brand) shirt and jeans.
Simi explained that it was Adekunle Gold’s persistence that caught her attention and made her consider dating him a few months after their initial meeting.
Simi shared, “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.”
She continued, “I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show at Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with a white BYC shirt 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!'”
Simi described Adekunle Gold as a really nice guy and mentioned that they developed a friendship before he eventually asked her out later that year.
Despite her initial hesitation due to not having much at the time, she was drawn to his kind nature. She added, “I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have anything. He was a nice guy, and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy.'”
