Simi And Tiwa Savage Collaboration: Simi Talks About The Title Of New Single ‘Men Are Crazy’
Two prominent and celebrated Nigerian female artistes, Simi and Tiwa Savage, have eventually released their long-awaited collaboration-single titled ‘Men Are Crazy’ – and Simi has talked about the reason the song is titled ‘Men Are Crazy’.
Simi, while speaking in an interview in the media, recently, gave an explanation and stated the reason the song was given the title ‘Men Are Crazy’. She did this because of the controversy that the titled of the song had generated, especially among male music lovers.
Meanwhile, Simi said she had no intentions of explaining her reason behind the title ‘Men Are Crazy’ as the title had generated negative reactions from some male music lovers and online observers. According to her, she said she intended to wait till the song was released, so that it would explain the reason better itself.
In her words: “I honestly wasn’t going to go on an explaining spree at the time. I was like when the song comes out, they will see what I’m trying to say.”
She also highlighted that the online reactions to the title, contributed to the release of the ‘Single’ because of the increased anticipation of it.
In furtherance, Simi said that Tiwa Savage softened up the message in the song through her lyric’s inclusion of ‘Men are crazy, but I still want one in my bed’ – which was different from what I originally wanted it to be, which was ‘men are crazy’.
The Single ‘Men Are Crazy’ is the first time Tiwa Savage and Simi will be collaborating in song – and it marks a notable development for female collaborations in Afrobeats.
‘Men Are Crazy’ is a follow-up single from simi after she had released the Single ‘All I Want’ in February 2024 – and now, both ‘Singles’ are precenting to her anticipated album that will be released later in the year (2024).
Also, in the interview, Simi talked about the recent situation of her husband, Adekunle Gold, defending her on social media against the dragging from Samklef on her.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
