Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has recounted how the persistence of her husband, singer Adekunle Gold made her accept to date him during the early days of their careers.

The singer said, AG Baby as he is fondly called, had been sending her messages on Facebook for a long time but she didn’t notice until they started dating.

She reflected how they eventually met at one of her concerts and how she got attracted to Gold’s “niceness”.

Simi disclosed this in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos.

The ‘Duduke’ crooner said they dated for five years before finally getting married in 2019.

She 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].”

Popular Nigerian activist, VeryDarkMan, has reacted to the revelations of his demise by prophets.

Two prophets from Nigeria and Ghana had given revelations about VeryDarkMan’s death.

One of the unidentified prophets, in a video while addressing his congregation, said in Yoruba: “There are activists in this country that they will soon end in Nigeria. One of the activists will be imprisoned. The other one will be killed because they said they have nothing to lose.”

The second prophet said: “This is for VDM. Bad politicians have taken him to a river. VDM is dead in the river but still alive in the physical world. And it’s very bad for your face to be inside a river. Whether VDM likes it or not, he will leave the world unexpectedly.”

Reacting to the videos in a post shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM, stated that death is inevitable.

He further asked the prophets to see a vision about how Nigeria will be great.

“You heard the pastor, although he didn’t mention my name, but he made reference to what I usually say, which is I have nothing to lose. That’s number one.

“You are seeing vision for me as if I’m one person that sees himself to be important. I’m not important. Death is inevitable and is coming for all of us. Tell us a vision about our country. Tell us when Nigeria will be a great country.”

Former American baseball player, David Justice has revealed why he divorced his ex-wife, actress Halle Berry.

Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘All the Smoke’ podcast with co-host Matt Barnes, Justice explained that he left Berry because she doesn’t do house chores and lacks motherly instincts.

“I’m looking at my mom, I’m a Midwest guy. So in my mind, I’m thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, and I’m thinking OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with? And at that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly,” he stated.

Justice said that the marriage could have been saved if he had known about therapy.

He explained that he was young and naive then and had only been in one relationship before his marriage to Berry.

He, however, maintained that he is not to be blamed for the divorce, adding that the movie star was “dead wrong” for making the world believe he was the problem in their failed marriage.
