Jamb question singer ,Simi Ogunleye shined bright in 2016, winning awards, headlining major gigs and smiling to the bank. However, there are few shocking things you would wish you knew about her
- Simi no dey look face
According to her:”I am a very straight forward person, I like to say things the way I see them, I don’t like beating about the bush. I am not pretentious, but a simple and realistic person.”
- She can buy roasted plantain by the roadside
Forget the stardom, Simi can still buy her favourite roasted plantain by the roadside.
Hear her:”I can still stop by and buy roasted plantain by the road side. I don’t feel uncomfortable, I am not blown away by fame because that is not what excites me in the game. What excites me is the music.”
- Her most annoying daily routine is taking her bath. This sounds shocking right? Then let her shock you more with her confession:”My most annoying daily routine will be taking my bath. It’s not that I don’t like bathing but I love to multi-task. At times I might be brushing my teeth while also operating my system or reading. But when you get into the bathroom, you just can’t do any other thing.”
4.You can’t catch her wearing Iro and buba.
Simi is the typical beautiful tom boy. You will probably see her rock her sneakers and jean.
“You won’t catch me wear full Iro and Buba. Maybe when I am getting married, I will probably wear one but for now, I won’t. I could remember the last time my mum made one for me, I really looked ridiculous in it.”
5.Soldier is actually written by Simi
Simi collaborated with Falz on the hit song Soldier. However, you will be shocked to know that the song actually belongs to her.
“Soldier’ actually started out as my song, I wrote the song and he had heard the song even before ‘Jamb Question’ and I was like you know, ‘you can write a verse for this, but let me be honest with you this song is not going to come out for a while because I already have other material I’m trying to put out’. He was like no problem and then when he was working on his album he called me and was like ‘I want to do a song with you’ and I was like ‘Okay’. Actually, I was even fighting and gunning for an Afrobeat song. He was like ‘nahh nahh’ , that soldier song and I said ‘but that’s my song’. So we flipped it and it became his song.”
