Adekunle Gold Files for Divorce from Simi

Popular Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife and fellow artiste, Simi, at the High Court of Lagos State.

According to a petition dated February 28, 2026, and currently circulating online, the case was filed under the Family Court – Matrimonial Causes Jurisdiction, seeking the dissolution of their marriage on the grounds that it has “irretrievably broken down.”

In the court documents, Adekunle Kosoko, widely known as Adekunle Gold, allegedly claimed he had been subjected to continuous emotional, financial, social, and professional control by his wife. He described the marriage as “toxic and unbearable,” citing an absence of mutual respect and peace in the home.

The petitioner further accused Simi of undermining his authority and stated that the relationship had been characterised by persistent control and manipulation.

As part of the reliefs sought, Adekunle Gold is asking the court to dissolve the marriage, approve an equitable division of assets acquired during the union, and grant joint custody of their child, subject to mutual agreement. He also requested any additional relief the court may consider appropriate.

The document reportedly bears an official court stamp marked “Filed” and “Approved” on February 28, 2026, alongside a certified true copy endorsement.

As of press time, neither Adekunle Gold nor Simi has issued a public statement regarding the development.

The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2019, have long been celebrated as one of Nigeria’s most admired celebrity pairs, known for their musical collaborations and public expressions of affection.
