Pop diva, Simisola Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi, is one artiste who has got everything going for her at the moment.
The Mass Communication graduate of the
Covenant University who is currently signed on to X3M Music, soared to
national and international prominence following the success of the remix
of her hit tune – Jamb Question which featured the highly
talented Falz. The 27-year-old has since become a household name,
enjoying prominent mention in the media.
In a chat with Saturday Beats earlier in
the week, the gifted songstress shared some intimate secrets about her
life, revealing how growing up in the midst of boys gave her confidence
and made her tough.
Simi also revealed that unlike some up
and coming female artistes in the country, she had never been sexually
harassed even though she had suffered disappointments in different forms
in the past.
“I have been disappointed but never been
sexually harassed. I have been very favoured in this regard. My mother
is a disciplinarian who always put us on the right path. Even at that,
she allowed me be my own person and learn my own lessons,” she said.
The singer, who revealed that she wanted
to be a lawyer as a child, said she turned down several juicy job
opportunities to pursue a career in music.
“I wanted to be a lawyer and also an on
air personality as a child. But now, I feel I would have been bored
being a lawyer. The love for music was too strong for me to resist.
“I am very stubborn when pursuing my
passion and goals. I love to make my own mistakes. My mother had thought
that after graduation from the university, music would just be a
pastime for me. I turned down several juicy jobs to pursue music,” she
said.
When asked about her alleged romance
with fellow up and coming act – Adekunle Gold, Simi simply refused to
comment, saying she had no reaction to the rumoured relationship between
the two of them.
She however called on fans to keep supporting her music as she was working hard to keep entertaining them with quality works.
