Management Addresses Viral Social Media Claims of Marital Breakdown

The Nigerian entertainment industry was briefly unsettled this week following rumors that celebrity power couple Simi and Adekunle Gold were initiating divorce proceedings. Simi’s manager, Vincent, broke the silence on Thursday to firmly deny the allegations, characterizing them as a deliberate spread of misinformation. The rumors gained significant traction after a document, purported to be an official divorce petition, began circulating across various social media platforms. Management urged fans and the public to disregard the claims, emphasizing that the couple remains together and that the narrative was entirely manufactured by bad-faith actors.

Forced Document Exposed via Legal Inconsistencies and Chronological Errors

In his rebuttal, Vincent pointed to several glaring errors within the viral "divorce petition" that proved its fraudulent nature. Most notably, the document utilized the artists' professional stage names—Simi and Adekunle Gold—which the manager noted are not legally tenable for filing in any official court of justice worldwide. Furthermore, the document, supposedly dated February 28, 2026, featured a suit number (HCL/FC/2024/0178) that was backdated to 2024. These inconsistencies, according to management, serve as clear evidence that the paperwork was an amateur fabrication designed to generate clicks and social media engagement.

Simi and Adekunle Gold’s Collaborative History and Growing Family

The couple’s relationship is one of the most celebrated in the Nigerian music scene, having evolved from a long-term friendship and professional collaboration into a marriage in January 2019. Since then, they have been open about their domestic life, welcoming their first daughter, Adejare, in 2020. Earlier this year, reports emerged that the couple had welcomed twins, a development that was met with widespread celebration from their global fanbase. Management noted that the couple recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary with public tributes, further contradicting the claims of "emotional and professional control" alleged in the fake petition.
