Popular Nigerian singer, Simi, has responded to criticism from fans who felt she inappropriately wore a swimsuit to a pool party as a married woman.
In a humorous Instagram post, Simi apologized for her choice of attire, admitting she wasn’t thinking and should have known better.
“I just came here feeling repentant; yesterday I went to the swimming pool and I wore a swimsuit, guys, and I’m just so sorry. Honestly, I just wasn’t thinking; I didn’t think. My friend told me, ‘Sims, you can’t wear a swimsuit at the pool; you’re married’. I should have known better; I didn’t know better, and I’m sorry,” she said.
Simi promised to do better next time, saying she will wear a kaftan to the next pool party as a sign of respect for her husband. She also encouraged her followers to support her music, saying, “If nothing, please stream my album Lost and Found, because I was lost at the pool and now I’m found.”
The singer’s apology has been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some appreciating her humility and others feeling she shouldn’t have apologized for her choice of attire. Regardless, Simi’s promise to wear a kaftan next time has generated buzz and anticipation for her next pool party appearance.
