Simisola Kosoko, a popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, has shared a fascinating narrative behind her hit song ‘Men are Crazy’, which featured brilliant musician Tiwa Savage.
Simi addressed the controversy generated by the title of her collaboration.
“I honestly wasn’t going to go on an explaining spree at the time. I was like when the song comes out they will see what I’m trying to say.”

Simi, noted for her deep vocals, stated that the music was inspired by her beloved spouse, Adekunle Gold.
According to the lovely mother of one, Adekunle Gold gave her the idea for the song lyric, ‘Men Are Crazy, but I still have one more in my bed, ooo’.
The song ‘Men Are Crazy’ has become one of the most popular on music streaming platforms.
She acknowledged that the online reaction the title caused also contributed to the track’s rollout as it increased anticipation.
It goes further into men’s peculiarities while emphasizing their importance in women’s lives.
Simi, on the other hand, discussed her debut collaboration with Tiwa Savage, emphasizing their mutual desire to work together on such a fascinating track.
The ‘Duduke’ hitmaker professed respect for Tiwa Savage, although their brands and music genres are distinct.
“It’s funny because my husband gave me that idea. He was like babe, how are we doing the song and he was like, ‘Men Are crazy and I still want one in my bed’. I was like no one would think of such coming from me. After recording two verses of the song, I felt like something was missing like someone is needed.
“Then I reached out to Tiwa although we are kind of different brand-wise. We do not generally go in the same direction. But I felt like we could do something to bring our fans together. Then I sent it to her, I think she was in Los Angeles (LA) at that time. Then she went to the studio to record during her busy time.”

Simi Breaks Her Silence
Simi broke her silence after being dragged on social media by music producer Samklef.
Simi revealed that while being defended by her husband, Adekunle Gold, and her fans, she was rather confused and unfazed by the producer’s outburst.
“I don’t know why these people keep talking about me. Even when you look at what they’re saying, you can’t pick anything from it and I’m still confused. I was talking to my friend about this and I was like I don’t feel anything about this and it doesn’t impact me. I don’t have anything to hide. The whole thing is all comedy to me.”

The artist also spoke about people who defended her on the basis that she was a married woman, stressing that when it comes to being respected by others, the reasons should not be because she is married or a mother, but simply because she deserves it.
“I saw a lot of people defending me and saying ‘Why would he be talking to a married woman like that?’ You don’t respect me just because I’m married. You are to respect me because I deserve to be respected. I have also seen people defending me and saying ‘She has a kid don’t do that.’ I say, ‘Don’t do that to me, period’.”

Samklef accused her of being ungrateful and setting him up for online dragging. At the time, Adekunle Gold warned him against speaking about his wife, and her fans also came to her defense.
Speaking, Simi stated that she simply had nothing to say about it.
“It seems like I should have more to say about this but there’s really nothing to say. I feel like they say these things because they want some kind of attention and that’s why I have nothing to contribute. These things shouldn’t be happening you know. But I take it all in strides and keep it moving.”
