In a recent episode of the Tea with Taye podcast, celebrated singer and songwriter Simi provided insight into why she has never charged any artist for a feature in her career.
The “Duduke” crooner shared that her approach to collaborations is rooted in her personal connection to the songs. She disclosed that she has never accepted cash payment for a feature, highlighting her selective nature when it comes to choosing projects. She emphasized that she only agrees to feature in a song if she genuinely likes it, and conversely, if the track doesn’t resonate with her, she politely declines.
She further explained that when a song captures her interest, she swiftly writes her own part, showcasing her dedication to contributing meaningfully to the music she collaborates on.
