Singer Simi has retracted her earlier statement that sparked outrage, acknowledging her comment was “weird” and should have been approached more thoughtfully.
In a recent interview, Simi had stated that she only listens to her husband Adekunle Gold’s music, excluding other Nigerian artists. This remark drew criticism from netizens who perceived her as proud.
In a lengthy post on her official X account, Simi clarified her stance, admitting the conversation was meant as banter but came across wrongly. She expressed regret over not being more careful with her words, especially since the interview was conducted in a casual setting with drinking and joking.
Simi lamented that the clip was intentionally edited and sensationalized to portray her negatively, adding that watching the full interview would have provided a different perspective. She has since taken responsibility for her mistake, showing a willingness to listen and learn from the experience.
