Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold has spoken about his working relationship with his wife and fellow artist, Simi, describing their creative process as natural and effortless.
In a recent interview, he revealed that Simi often adds her touch to his songs spontaneously—sometimes by contributing to the chorus or making adjustments while she’s mixing in the studio.
He explained that their collaboration is based on mutual trust and input, with Simi frequently enhancing his music with background vocals or subtle tweaks, even when he isn’t present.
Likewise, he noted that he offers his own suggestions on her songs, making their artistic exchange smooth and intuitive.
Adekunle Gold said, “My partnership with Simi is very seamless. When I write… So, Don Corleone, when I made the song, I think she was listening to the chorus when I made it, and she just said, well, she has an idea, that she wanted to add something to it. I’m like, okay, go for it.
“And then she just went, go Kunle, and that was it. I’m like, oh, this is smart. And that’s it.
“And we’re just in the studio right there, because she was mixing the song. She mixed the song at first, right? She was mixing the song and then she just added to it. Sometimes one of the benefits I enjoy is when I send my song to Simi to mix, you know, she does like some… I don’t have to be there.
“She just does some backups, things that the song needs, and then that’s it. It’s just very easy. When she writes the songs, when she sends to me, I tell her what I think she should add to it, and that’s easy”.
Responding to claims that Simi might be focusing more on his career than her own, Adekunle Gold dismissed the narrative, stating that both of them are secure and happy in their creative rhythm.
“All of these things don’t faze me, nor my wife or anything. We’re good”, he said.
