Adekunke and Simi
Adekunle
Gold has appreciated his rumoured girlfriend, Simi for sharing the
stage with him, and also defended her after she was trailed with mixed
reaction over hitches in her Lagos concert.
Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, has taken to his Instagram page to
defend his widely reported girlfriend, Simi, whose live concert in
Lagos, yesterday was almost marred by her inability to kick-off the show
on schedule.
According to online reports, guests had gathered at the Balmoral
Convention Centre at Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos for the event which
was announced to kick off at 6 pm. But by 9:00pm, Simi was a no-show,
leaving fans disgruntled as they were left stranded at the venue with
soundcheck reportedly being conducted at quarter to nine.
It was gathered that Simi eventually took the stage at about 10:30
pm, tendering an unreserved apology, and of course, delivering a superb
performance.
But that didn’t stop fans who called out the singer for her failure
to keep to time with many expressing their disappointment and calling
her unprofessional.
Adekunle Gold in the Instagram post, encouraged and defended Simi
over the incident, saying; ‘truth is, things happen sometimes that the
public don’t see’.
Adekunle also narrated his own experience where he was already
around for his concert last year but the stage light had blown just
before the show started.
He ended by saying that he and other Simi fans were convinced she was sorry for what happened and accepted her apology.

**********
"Last year an hour before I hit the stage, I was informed that some of the most important stage lights blew out.
I sat down in my car backstage reading unkind tweets of irate
bloggers and people about how late I was. It was demoralizing and
painful because we were ready and I was there.
The truth is, things happen sometimes that the public don’t
see. Know this, we your true fans know you were sorry. And before the
clouds of those reviews set in, I would like to cover you in Joy and
celebration.
You were beautiful, electrifying and incredible tonight my
darling. I am so proud of you. Thank you for letting me share that stage
with you. It will always be my honour. Forever in your army fighting
for you. AG #simiarmystandup."
