Singer Simi has reconsidered a previous statement she doesn’t listen to music, acknowledging it was “weird” and potentially misleading.

In a recent X post, Simi explained that her initial remarks were meant in a casual, conversational context and not intended to be taken literally.

She clarified that she enjoys music and often shares her favorite songs and discoveries on Twitter.

She emphasised that she’s not proud of her lack of knowledge about music and is actually terrible at keeping up with trends.

“In hindsight, I should have had this conversation more carefully. I didn’t because I honestly didn’t consider that it could be something that some might consider as cocky. I’ve never been proud of it. I don’t even see how it’s something to be proud about.

“I do see how saying ‘I don’t listen to anything’ repeatedly can come off as weird, but it was not literal. I’m always tweeting about songs I like or sounds I discovered. I’m just terrible at keeping up with things that most other people know. Not just with music. I don’t remember names. I don’t know what charts or shows are trending, I’m always singing the wrong song on the wrong beat, so my friends dey always tell me ‘You no dey ever know anything,’ she explained.

Simi attributed the misunderstanding to the informal nature of the interview and expressed disappointment that her words were taken out of context and sensationalised.

“It was banter. In the wrong place. This is why I know I should have had this convo more carefully. It was a 2-hour interview with drinking and cussing, so I was chatting like I would with my friends. It does hurt that whoever cut that clip and wrote that headline did it with intention. It’s impossible to watch the entire interview and come away with the feeling that you would have watched the clip that everyone was sharing.

“It’s all good though. All is well. My friends did say to leave it alone, but things linger. And I really hate being called a liar. But e don finish now,” she concluded.

Simi’s reversal comes after facing backlash for her initial statement, which some perceived as arrogant.

Singer Simi has spoken about her struggles with stage fright, revealing gets nervous before shows.

In a post on X, Simi shared a clip rehearsing a song from her latest album, “lost And found”, and explained that the first few times she performs a new song live, it’s like “trying on a new pair of shoes that needs adjustments”.

Simi, known for her hit songs like “Duduke”, admitted that she has a history of severe stage fright but developed a strategy to manage her nerves.

According to her, she gives her brain time to familiarise itself with the song, allowing her to disregard nervousness and deliver a confident performance.

Simi wrote: “The first few times I have to perform a new song (any song) live on stage is like trying on a new pair of shoes that needs adjustments.

“I don’t know why that is. Lol. Maybe it’s cos I have a history with pretty bad stage fright. Now I have to give my brain time to bond with the song so it can learn to disregard me and my nerves.

“Anyway this night, I kept rehearsing this song (maybe overly so), because it was my first time performing it on stage and of course the nerves came. But I have one or two more to go until I get out of the way and my brain takes over lol.”

Singer and songwriter Simi recently appeared on the Zero Conditions Podcast to discuss her views on relationships.

She emphasized that both partners must invest in a relationship for it to thrive, highlighting the importance of compromise and mutual effort.

Simi pointed out that a relationship cannot succeed with only one person putting in the effort, regardless of how hard they try.

She stressed that relationships require vulnerability, compromise, and sacrifice from both parties.

She also underlined the importance of good communication, which helps partners stay connected and resolve their differences.

She explained: “I have a take; one person cannot make a relationship work. I don’t care how many prayers you pray, how hard you work, or how much therapy you do. If one person is the only one investing in the relationship, the relationship is not working; it can never work.”

“It will never work because it takes two; that’s the point of a relationship. It takes two, three, or four. I don’t know what we’re doing these days. But the point is, it definitely takes more than one person; it takes a village.

“Love requires vulnerability, compromise, and sacrifice, but it has to be in an ‘I know that I have to put part of myself down in this relationship, but I don’t want to be doing it myself’ type of way.

“I think there should be great communication; if you don’t have great communication, it won’t work, even if you love that person. Communication is hearing someone and hearing what they’re saying. And even if you disagree, you’re meeting it with love and compassion. Because you’re not always going to be on the same page, you’re going to disagree, and sometimes you can’t stand that person, but you love them enough to find your way back to the same page.”
