Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, is a popular Nigerian musician who has detailed how her husband, Adekunle Gold, persuaded her to date him in the beginning of their relationship.

The singer claimed that her boyfriend, fondly known as AG Baby, had been messaging her on Facebook for a while but that she hadn't noticed until they started dating.

She thought back to how they eventually met at one of her performances and how she was drawn to Gold's "niceness."

This was revealed by Simi during a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos.

Before getting married in 2019, according to the "Duduke" singer, they dated for five years.

She said, “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.

“I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with white BYC 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!’ [laughs].

“I don’t know, he must have been persistent because there is a friendship that came out from there. I thought he was a really nice guy. We became friends and later that year, he asked me out.

“I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have nothing. He was a nice guy and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy’ [laughs]."
