Simi, the popular singer also known as Simisola Kosoko, revealed that her husband, Adekunle Gold, inspired her to write her latest song, “Men Are Crazy.”
Simi’s song, featuring Tiwa Savage, sparked mixed reactions when it was released. Some male listeners criticized the song’s tone, finding it offensive and dismissive.
While talking on Angela Yee’s podcast, “Way Up,” Simi said that her husband, who is also a singer, was the one who came up with the idea for the song.
She said, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy’. He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?’
“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, no one is going to see that coming from me. So I made that song. I had actually finished the song, I did two verses but I felt something was missing. It just hit me and I was like, ‘I will love to have Tiwa on the song.’ We [our music] don’t generally go in the same direction but I was like, it would be so nice to find that balance and do something that would bring our synergies together. So I sent it to Tiwa and she did her verse and we shot the video together.”
