Simi opens up on how she avoided heartbreak before getting married

Nigerian singer-songwriter Simi has opened up about how she managed to avoid heartbreak in her relationships before she got married to Adekunle Gold.
In a recent interview with media personality VJ Adams, the Duduke singer revealed that while she has experienced emotional pain in the past, she has never truly been heartbroken in a relationship.
She explained, “I don’t think I’ve ever been heartbroken, but I’ve been hurt before. I don’t have any memory of being heartbroken before but I’ve probably broken someone’s heart though.”
Simi explained that she would rather walk away from situations that don’t favour her, rather than running the risk of being being pitied
I’m the type of person who used to say that I never wanted someone to date me to that I don’t feel bad or because they pity me. Let me feel bad, then I’d get over it. It’s the same way I used to operate; if I felt like something wasn’t working, I’d walk away from it.
I’ve not been heartbroken before because if I feel like something isn’t good for me, the way my brain is wired is to walk away from it.
She explained that her tactic also works with friendships and anyone else she loves or cares for, stressing that anyone can hurt others.
This isn’t even only for relationships. If I have friends that make me feel unsafe, I’m ready to cut it off because I have anxiety.
This is why I say I don’t remember ever being heartbroken before but I’ve been hurt. When you love people there’s always the capacity for them to hurt you

Lil Kesh reveals the song that made Olamide sign him to YBNL

” ‘Lyrically’ is one song that got me my record deal,” Lil Kesh said on the hit record that announced him to the Nigerian mainstream.
While his artistry is primarily conveyed throgh rap music, Lil Kesh shared that he doesm’t like identitfing as one even though he is one.
“I am a rapper, but I don’t like to identify as a rapper intentionally. I came into the game as a rapper.”
According to him, he understood that Nigerians love to party, hence rap music wouldn’t bring him the level of commercial success he craved.
“Most of the people who identified as rappers, most of them couldn’t stand the test of time,” Lil Kesh explained his desire to identify as a popstar and make pop records despite being a rapper.
He further shared how YBNL label boss Olamide is one of the few exceptions of rappers who enjoyed long successful careers because he consistently made commercial Afrobeats records.
It was this desire for commercial success that inspired him to deliver hit records like ‘Shoki,’ ‘Is It Because I Love You,’ and ‘Efejoku‘ which propelled him to mainstream sensation in 2015.
