“I’ve never been heartbroken” – Simi
Simi, who is married to Afrobeats icon Adekunle Gold, claims that since she has never experienced heartbreak personally, her heartbreak songs are not inspired by her own experiences.
Simi, a prominent stage name for Simisola Kosoko, a sensational singer from Nigeria, has admitted that she has never gone through a breakup.

The single mother said this in a recent interview with reality star turned radio host Tacha on Lagos’ Cool FM.
Simi joked that possibly the reason she can make relevant music is that she is a champion for those who are hurt in her most recent sorrow song, “Stranger.”
“I don’t think I have ever been heartbroken. I don’t know, that song [‘Stranger’] came to me very easily. I guess, maybe I’m just a champion for people that have taken breakfasts [heartbroken] severally [laughs].
“I’m here for them. I mean, somebody has to be. And I remembered that I was thinking; I like love a lot, I think about love a lot. And I felt like one angle that I probably haven’t explored like that is… You know, like you are in a relationship, they have not given you breakfast yet but you just feel like you’ve changed so much and you are doing things, accepting things or adapting to things that normally you would never would. And then one day, you look at yourself in the mirror, and you are like, I don’t know that person.
“I feel like that was the perspective that would be nice to sing about or write about. That is going on in my feelings as well. And I feel like people would be able to relate with it, especially people that are currently going through a heartbreak.” She said.
