Simi Sanya Says She Was Honest With Femi Dapson About Her Cooking Before Marriage

Media personality and influencer Simi Sanya has disclosed that she can only prepare spaghetti, yam and eggs — and that she made this clear to music video director Femi Dapson long before they tied the knot. Speaking in a recent interview, she said the disclosure came during the talking stage of their relationship so her husband would have no false expectations after the wedding.

“Didn’t I Tell You Before?” — Why Simi Refused to Play the Kitchen Role

According to Sanya, she has never presented herself as a domestic expert and saw no reason to start pretending once romance entered the picture. She reportedly told Dapson exactly where her culinary skills began and ended, insisting that he understood what he was committing to before things became serious between them.

“You see me the way I am. You know that I don’t know how to cook. Now I’m in a relationship; you will now say let me go and be cooking for you in your house every weekend… why? Was that the plan? Didn’t I tell you before?” she said during the interview.

The influencer argued that many marriages run into trouble because of assumptions and expectations that were never openly discussed, which is why she believes conversations about cooking and compatibility belong at the start of a relationship, not after commitment. She added that her husband has no issue with her limited abilities, and that the pair simply found other ways to divide responsibilities between them — an arrangement she says has strengthened their bond.

From a Lavish Lagos Wedding to a Wider Debate on Domestic Expectations

Sanya and Dapson have been a visible couple since their lavish Lagos wedding, which took place in February 2026, and this is not the first time she has spoken candidly about their relationship. Her latest remarks have drawn praise online from those who see transparency as the bedrock of a lasting union.

Her comments also feed into a broader, ongoing conversation about modern marriage, where more women are pushing back against the idea that their value is measured by their presence in the kitchen. By stating her limits plainly rather than performing a role she never agreed to, Sanya has offered a talking point for couples negotiating domestic duties on their own terms.
