Nigerian singer Simi was stunned when her husband Adekunle Gold surprised her with a cake on live television.
Simi is one of the judges of the reality show. It was her birthday, and she had shown up for judging duties as usual. In the course of the show, the host, IK Osakioduwa, had said the show decided to give a superfan the opportunity to celebrate with her.
Simi had no clue who the superfan was, and she watched attentively as Osakioduwa cued him to come on stage.
Simi was beyond surprised to see her husband, Adekunle Gold, show up with a moderate cake to celebrate her birthday. Her reaction was captured on multiple cameras.
Nigerian Idol even posited that her reaction was a veritable addition to the meme economy.
Adekunle Gold and Simi shared a warm hug and he delivered a few words about his wife before disappearing whence he came.
But then, the impression had already been made, and social media users couldn’t stop talking about the affection between the couple.
Adekunle Gold and Simi got married years ago in a private ceremony. It wasn’t until much later that the world realised that they were indeed married. They have been inseparable since.
