“My husband gave me the idea for ‘Men Are Crazy”– Simi

Renowned singer Simi, also known as Simisola Kosoko, disclosed that her spouse, Adekunle Gold, was the inspiration behind her controversial song, ‘Men Are Crazy.’

The release of Simi’s recent song, ‘Men Are Crazy,’ featuring Tiwa Savage, prompted a mix of reactions, particularly drawing criticism from male social media users who perceived the song’s tone as condescending.

During an appearance on Angela Yee’s ‘Way Up’ podcast, Simi shared that it was her husband, fellow singer Adekunle Gold, who sparked 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.”
