On how he met Simi, he said: “I slid into her Facebook DM, a long time ago. I listened to her songs, I didn’t even go to be a boyfriend. I found this song called Ogaju, this song Ogaju was beautiful and I listened to that song back to back and I sent her a funny DM with a lot of ‘gbas gbos’ grammar. You know what is crazy, she never saw the message till we met, she never saw the message. I finally met her at BOGOBIRI that’s a clue for people that’s looking for a spouse go to BOGOBIRI. She came to play and I thought it was beautiful and we became friends, as a sharp guy I told her let’s do this life thing and then we are on the journey.”
