In the ever-dynamic world of the Nigerian music industry, controversies often arise, and personalities clash. Most recently, popular singer Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, found herself at the center of attention due to comments made by fellow artists Brymo and Samklef.
Brymo’s admission last year that he requested sex from Simi before considering a collaboration sparked controversy. He claimed Simi rejected his advances, leading to his decision not to work with her. Similarly, producer-turned-blogger Samklef recently confessed his past affection for Simi during their early days as struggling artists. However, he clarified that he refrained from pursuing a romantic relationship to avoid complicating their professional dynamic.
In a recent interview with Angela Yee, Simi finally addressed these comments, expressing her perplexity and dismissing them with a touch of humor. She emphasized that she couldn’t take Brymo and Samklef seriously, considering their rhetoric more akin to comedy than anything else.
Simi highlighted the absurdity of their remarks, stating, “I don’t know what these people [Brymo and Samklef] are going on about…When you even look at what they’re saying, you can’t even pick out anything. I’m still confused.”
For Simi, the remarks made by Brymo and Samklef hold no significance and do not impact her in any meaningful way. She pointed out that her husband, Adekunle Gold, has spoken out in her defense, and she feels no need to engage further with the situation.
Simi’s candid response reflects her confidence and indifference towards the gossip surrounding her personal and professional life. She reiterated that she has nothing to hide and finds amusement in the situation rather than allowing it to affect her.
In conclusion, Simi’s reaction to the comments made by Brymo and Samklef underscores her resilience and ability to navigate the often turbulent waters of the music industry with grace and humor. As she continues to focus on her music and family, it’s clear that she won’t let trivial controversies distract her from her path to success.
