In a recent interview on The Roadshow on Cool FM, Nigerian Afrobeat star Simi has shared how her views on motherhood changed after welcoming daughter, Adejare.
She confessed that before becoming a mother, she thought she would have multiple nannies for her child but she has become a hands-on mom.
Simi revealed that she only hires nannies when she’s in Nigeria but takes care of her daughter when they’re abroad.
“Before I had my daughter, I used to say that I would have five nannies and my nanny would have a nanny; that’s not the case.”

“I’m super hands-on. In fact, when we’re in the States, I don’t have any nannies, but here I have someone to watch her when I have to work because I’m busier here than there. That’s just not the kind of mum I ended up being.”
“I was so certain back then that I was like, ‘I will have two nannies and those nannies will have a nanny and their nannies will have nannies too’. I shouldn’t have thought that, though, knowing me, I really shouldn’t have,” she stated.
She also expressed a desire to explore new creative interests, including writing a novel and working on a children’s project.
“I’m trying to write a book, a novel. I used to say that if I wasn’t an artiste I would probably be a novelist. Maybe some romance. Some fantasy, some suspense. I also want to work on a children’s project; it’s an untapped market,” Simi said.
