Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has declared his wife, Simi, as the best songwriter in the Nigerian music industry.

Speaking in a recent interview with Angela Yee, Gold insisted that there is no better songwriter in the Nigerian music industry than Simi.

He explained that he has encountered and collaborated with a lot of great songwriters, but his wife is sui generis.โ€œNobody writes songs like Simi. 

I have never seen somebody write about 10 songs on one beat before. 


I have seen other artists work, and whatever they drop on a beat at the moment feels like the right one. 

But writing different songs on the same beat, it must be sui generis.

โ€œSimi has written too many songs on one beat, and most times it is maybe the fifth one that would be released. 

She wrote about three different versions of โ€˜Duduke,โ€™โ€ he said.
