Popular singer, Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, disclosed that the concept for her contentious track, ‘Men Are Crazy,’ originated from her husband, Adekunle Gold.
The song, which also features Tiwa Savage, received varied reactions, particularly from many male social media users who criticized its demeaning tone.
While speaking on Angela Yee’s podcast, ‘Way Up,’ Simi revealed that it was Adekunle Gold who suggested 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.”
