After her collaborative single with Tiwa Savage, Simisola Kosoko, known by her stage name Simi, recently addressed the constant comparisons fans make between her and her husband, Adekunle Gold, in an interview with African Folder.
Simi, a true force in the merger of Afrobeats and Ballads in Africa. She has captivated audiences with her impressive three-octave soprano range and timeless love songs. Hits like Duduke and Running have cemented her place in the African music industry, further solidified by her marriage to the talented singer and songwriter Adekunle Gold.
However, in the interview, Simi expressed frustration with fans who constantly compare their careers. She called these comparisons “shallow,” highlighting that they fail to recognize the unique paths and contributions each artist brings to the table.
Simi emphasized that while their musical styles may differ, their roles within their family as partners and parents hold equal weight, and these shouldn’t be overshadowed by superficial comparisons. This statement reflects Simi’s commitment to authenticity and individuality, both in her music and personal life.
Looking forward, Simi revealed she’s currently working on her fifth studio album. Focused on creating music that resonates with her and her dedicated fanbase, Simi remains dedicated to her craft.
As Simi continues to inspire and enthrall audiences with her music, her unwavering commitment to being true to herself ensures her legacy as a prominent figure in the African music scene.
