Popular Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known by her stage name as Simi, has finally responded to flirtatious comments about her made by fellow artists Samuel Oguachuba, identified as Samklef, and Maverick singer Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, aka Brymo.
Simi spoke in an interview with media personnel, Angela Yee
on her programme titled, ‘Way Up’ on Tuesday.
The wife of singer Adekunle Gold said she could not imagine
the reasons behind Samklef and Brymo’s talks about nurturing feelings for her
but claimed to be happy that her husband was always in her defence.
She described their actions as more comedy than anything
else anyone could think.
When asked how she managed the jibes, Simi stated, “I don’t
expect to be asked this. The thing is, I don’t even know what most of these
people are like. I don’t know why they keep talking about me, but when you
really look at what they are saying, you can’t even pick out anything. I am
confused and feel like it doesn’t matter to me.
“My husband (Adekunle Gold) is speaking out for me as he
would. I even told my friend that I didn’t feel anything about it because it
didn’t impact me, and I didn’t have anything to hide.
“Like if you are going to post that you asked me out. So?
And? Okay. And why? To me, the whole thing is more comedy than anything else.
“The only thing I will say though is that I saw a lot of
people coming to my defence that why would he be talking to me like that. So,
I’m just like, you don’t respect me because I’m married, but respect me because
I deserve to be. Don’t do that to me,” she added.
Recently, a social media storm erupted when Samklef
expressed his sentiments about singer Simi, sparking a heated exchange between
him and Adekunle Gold.
In a series of now-deleted posts on Sunday, Samklef revealed
that he harboured feelings for Simi in the past but chose not to pursue them to
maintain a professional relationship. He then labelled Simi and fellow artist
Ric Hassani as “the two most ungrateful artistes” he has ever worked with.
But Simi’s husband, Adekunle Gold, swiftly responded,
defending his wife and urging Samklef to stop disrespecting her.
Adekunle Gold’s response escalated the confrontation as he
admonished Samklef, stating, “Simi does not owe you shit, and it is about time
you stopped calling her name every 3 market days. If anything, you owe me! Stop
fooling around and act your age!”
Samklef retaliated with a comment suggesting his influence
on Simi’s career, stating, “Dear Adekunle, I made your wife Simi cry.”
Also, not too long ago, Brymo also had his fair share of
Adekunle’s outburst after he shared an audio clip in which he requested sex for
a music collaboration from Simi, which she vehemently disapproved of.
Defending the audio, Brymo said his sexual advances towards
Simi, describing it as “an artistic pursuit.”
His revelation, however,
didn’t sit well with Adekunle Gold, who warned him to “stay away” from
his wife and “stop disrespecting” his family.
