Falz Opens Up About Relationship with Simi: “It’s Always Been About Music”
Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the Bhad Guy, recently addressed the much-talked-about relationship he has with fellow singer Simi, providing clarity on the nature of their bond which many fans have speculated about over the years. The rumors began to swirl after the duo released a joint EP titled ‘Chemistry’ in 2016, which showcased their remarkable musical synergy and left fans wondering if there was more than just professional collaboration between them.
In a detailed interview with Hip TV, Falz elaborated on how their paths first crossed and the evolution of their professional relationship. He recounted the first time he heard Simi’s hit song ‘Jamb Question’ in either 2013 or 2014. He was immediately captivated by her unique sound and felt a strong creative pull to collaborate with her. Acting on this inspiration, Falz reached out to Simi and proposed that they work together on a remix of the song, despite not having previously discussed it with her.
“I heard ‘Jamb Question’ and was blown away. I knew I had to be a part of it,” Falz said. “I contacted Simi and told her I had already written a verse for the remix. She was open to it, and we went ahead with the project. Filming the video was an organic process, and from then on, every other track we worked on felt just as natural and effortless.”
Falz emphasized that their relationship was purely musical and professional, explaining that their strong chemistry was solely within the realm of music. “Simi is like family to me. Our musical chemistry was undeniable, and we clicked in a way that made our collaborations truly special. We just had to explore that connection further,” he added.
Their professional relationship continued to thrive, leading to multiple collaborations over the years. Falz featured prominently in Simi’s latest album, ‘Lost And Found’, particularly in the track ‘Borrow Me Your Baby’. This ongoing partnership further solidified their reputation as a dynamic duo in the Nigerian music industry.
The persistent rumors of a romantic relationship between Falz and Simi were finally put to rest when Simi married her long-time secret lover and fellow musician, Adekunle Gold, on January 9, 2019. The marriage surprised many fans but also brought joy to those who admired both artists. In 2020, Simi and Adekunle Gold welcomed their first child, Adejare, which further affirmed the couple’s strong bond.
Falz’s clarification during the interview not only addressed the rumors but also highlighted the deep respect and admiration he has for Simi as a musician. Their story serves as a testament to how professional relationships can flourish and create beautiful music without crossing into romantic territory.
For fans eager to keep up with Falz and Simi’s latest projects and collaborations, staying tuned to their social media accounts and music platforms is the best way to get the most recent updates.
