Simi and Adekunle Gold
The manager of Nigerian singer Simi has dismissed viral claims that the artiste and her husband, Adekunle Gold, are heading for a divorce.
Vincent, Simi’s manager, said the report circulating on social media was based on a fake document purportedly filed by Adekunle Gold.
The document, dated February 28, 2026, alleged that the couple’s marriage had “irretrievably broken down” and claimed emotional, financial, and professional control. It further suggested that the petition had been filed at the High Court of Lagos State.
However, Vincent insisted the document was fabricated and pointed out several legal inconsistencies.
“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide, as indicated in the document. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024,” he said.
The rumour gained traction online after some old posts attributed to Simi resurfaced, with social media users speculating about possible marital problems. Adekunle Gold’s recent return to social media after a brief break also fueled further speculation among fans.
Simi and Adekunle Gold, who started as friends and music collaborators, married in January 2019 after dating for several years. The couple welcomed their daughter, Adejare, popularly known as Deja, in 2020.
Earlier in 2026, reports indicated that the pair also welcomed twins, a development widely celebrated by fans. They recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary with heartfelt tributes to each other on social media.
