Simi Denies Dating Rumours with Falz, Emphasizes Their Professional Chemistry
Simisola Kosoko, popularly known by her stage name Simi, recently made waves in the Nigerian music industry by dispelling long-standing rumours about her relationship with rapper, Falz The Bahd Guy. The popular singer addressed these rumours in an exclusive interview with MTV Base Africa on the programme, Official Naija Top 10.
Simi, the “Duduke” hitmaker, has categorically denied ever being in a romantic relationship with Falz, despite the public perception that suggested otherwise. Instead, she underscored the fact that the rapport between them was purely professional, a strong working relationship buoyed by their undeniable musical chemistry.
Simi shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes story about the creation of her song ‘JAMB Question Remix’. She recalled, “He (Falz) did a verse on my song, ‘JAMB Question Remix’. And I was like, ‘Ah! Me and this guy, there is a vibe there.’ So, we did ‘Soldier’, and everybody was like, the chemistry is so amazing.”
This palpable on-track chemistry sent their fans into a frenzy of speculation, presuming the duo was dating. However, Simi insists that their relationship never extended beyond the realms of their professional collaboration. Their palpable chemistry, while potent, was purely artistic.
“We never saw that. People bought what we were not selling. And we were like, okay, this is a strategy. So, we did ‘Chemistry’ the album. People gave us the name and the idea. We never actually came and say, oh, we are dating,” Simi stated.
In an industry rife with rumour mills and speculation, it seems that fans’ interpretation of Simi and Falz’s artistic chemistry had led to the false narrative of them dating. Simi’s clarification thus puts to rest one of the most discussed and debated topics in the Nigerian music scene.
Simi is happily married to another pillar of the Nigerian music industry, Adekunle Gold. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on January 9, 2019, in Lagos. In 2020, they welcomed their first child, Adejare, marking a new chapter in their lives.
Simi’s recent revelations serve as a reminder of the importance of distinguishing between professional collaboration and personal relationships in the entertainment industry. Despite the conjecture and fan theories, Simi and Falz’s relationship remains an excellent example of fruitful musical collaboration that has resonated deeply with their audience and spurred them to create more enchanting music together.
In conclusion, popular singer Simi’s candid discussion about her relationship with Falz The Bahd Guy re-emphasizes the distinct boundary between their artistic collaborations and personal lives. As their fans, it’s important to appreciate and respect these boundaries, while continuing to enjoy the remarkable music they produce together.
