The new arrival comes five years after the birth of their first daughter, Deja, who became a favourite among the couple's fanbase shortly after her own debut.

Simi and Adekunle's marital trouble rumours

The announcement brings a breath of fresh air as the couple have trended for the wrong reasons in the past few weeks.

In February, screenshots of tweets attributed to Adekunle Gold's wife circulated online. The posts, reportedly made during her early days on social media, referenced her experiences while working at her mother's daycare centre.

As the posts gained traction on social media, some netizens demanded that relevant authorities investigate the matter more closely, raising concerns about alleged misconduct.

The calls for investigations led the Nigerian government, through NAPTIP, to open an enquiry into the matter.

In her defence, Simi emphasised that the tweets were written when she was 23 years old and hustling her music career while helping out at her mother's daycare. She maintained they were innocent reflections of daily life rather than anything perverse.
