My husband gave me the idea for ‘Men Are Crazy’

Simisola Kosoko, or Simi, has stated that her husband, Adekunle Gold, inspired her controversial song ‘Men Are Crazy’.

According to reports, Simi’s latest single, ‘Men Are Crazy,’ featuring Tiwa Savage, was met with mixed reactions, with many male social media users chastising the singers for the song’s condescending tone.

Simi revealed on Angela Yee’s podcast, ‘Way Up,’ that her husband, singer Adekunle Gold, gave her the concept 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.”
