Sensational Simi, a Nigerian musician, has discussed how Adekunle Gold persisted in approaching her after they initially met before she finally gave in.
Adekunle Gold had been messaging Simi on Facebook, but she hadn’t seen his messages until they started dating, according to Simi, who spoke candidly in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos.
The mother of one claimed that she was drawn to him because of his tenacity in maintaining their friendship and because she believed he was a genuinely good guy. A year after they first met, he proposed to her.
She uttered: “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 in 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].”
