Afrobeats sensation Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, has opened up about the online comparisons between her and her husband, Adekunle Gold. In an interview with African Folder magazine, the talented singer-songwriter described the comparisons as “somewhat shallow.”
Despite being married to another artist, Simi has established herself as a unique artist with her own distinctive style and body of work. She expressed her frustration with the tendency to compare her music and life to that of her husband, emphasizing that they are not the same and have different roles both personally and professionally.
Simi highlighted the ignorance in comparing her to Adekunle Gold, stating that while they may be a match, they each have their own individual identities and contributions. She pointed out that while they share certain aspects of their lives, such as parenthood, their roles and experiences are unique to them.
Acknowledging that such comparisons are part of being public figures, Simi expressed her acceptance of the situation while also asserting the depth and complexity of their respective artistic journeys.
In conclusion, Simi emphasized the need to appreciate each artist for their individuality and not to diminish their contributions by comparing them to others, even if they happen to be spouses.
