After facing criticism for her controversial comment about other Nigerian musicians, Simi has reversed her stance.
She admitted that her statement was “weird” and received backlash for saying she only listens to her husband Adekunle Gold’s songs during a recent interview.
Netizens accused her of being arrogant, but Simi has since responded in a lengthy post on her official X, acknowledging that she should have handled the conversation more carefully.
She wrote, “In hindsight, I should have had this conversation more carefully. I didn’t because I honestly don’t consider that it could be something that might be considered as cocky. I have never been proud of it. I do not even see how it is something to be proud about.
“It was banter. In the wrong place. This is why I know I should have been more careful. It was a 2 hour interview with drinking and cussing, so I was chatting like I would with friends. It does hurt that whoever cut that clip and wrote that headline did it with intention. It is impossible to watch the entire interview and come away with the feeling that you would have watched the clip that everyone was sharing,” she said.
