Nigerian artists, Simi and Adekunle Gold were rumoured to be getting divorced; a screenshot of an alleged divorce petition went viral on social media and caused controversy. Could this be the result of Simi’s old social media posts resurfacing and igniting discussions?
Vincent Nwanze, who manages Simi, described the claim as untrue and said the document was not authentic.
“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide, as indicated in the document. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024 (SUIT NO HCL/FC/2024/0178),” he said. 
The Alleged Divorce Petition
The alleged divorce petition claimed that the marriage had “irretrievably broken down.” According to the document, Adekunle Gold was requesting a divorce because of what it called “persistent emotional and professional control within the relationship”.
It claimed that Simi allegedly had substantial influence over important facets of both his personal and professional lives.
The divorce claim itself has been the subject of varied social media responses. Following a resurgence of conversation about the couple, media personality Do2dtun asked fans to respect Adekunle Gold’s career and family life and to cease criticising him online.
Regarding the divorce rumours, neither Simi nor Adekunle Gold has released any official statements. Despite the viral discussions, it is clear that the divorce papers were fabricated.
