In a recent revelation, popular singer Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, has disclosed that her husband, Adekunle Gold, played a significant role in inspiring her controversial song “Men Are Crazy.”
During an appearance on Angela Yee’s podcast, “Way Up,” Simi shared insights into the creation of her latest track, which features Tiwa Savage and has stirred mixed reactions from listeners, particularly male social media users.
Simi explained that the idea for the song originated from a conversation with her husband, Adekunle Gold, who suggested exploring the theme of acknowledging men’s complexities while still desiring their presence. She recounted, “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?'”
