Why I didn’t ask Simi out despite my love for her – Samklef
Samklef, the controversial producer-turned-blogger, has disclosed the reason behind his decision not to ask singer Simi out, despite harboring feelings for her during their days as struggling artists.
He revealed that he was in love with Simi and almost made a move when she broke up with one of her ex-boyfriends. However, he refrained from doing so because he wanted to maintain a clear boundary between his private life and his business endeavors.
Samklef disclosed this via his X handle on Sunday when he wrote: “I [love emoji] Simi. I almost asked her out o! When she broke up with her ex, Lekan for experience that year. But I had to keep it professional, make e for no spoil business…Adekunle help me greet your wife for me. Life is not that deep.”
In another post, he claimed that the singer’s family treated him badly despite “everything” he did for her.
He wrote, “But Simi family show me pepper sha. After everything I do for her…I don forgive dem. That him over sabi brother where him dey self?”
