Popular songstress Simi has recounted how her hubby, Adekunle Gold‘s perseverance and amiability won her heart and made her agree to date him when he eventually proposed.
Simi revealed she never realised her hubby was already sending DMs on Facebook page to get her attention.
She explained she only came to the realisation after they started dating much later in the year and met at a show.
The ‘Duduke’ crooner in an interview with ‘The Beat 99.9 FM’, Lagos said: “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 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].”
