Popular Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, known professionally as Simi, recently clapped back at a critic who suggested she change her musical style.
On the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, Simi, known for her hit song “Woman,” uploaded a video snippet of a new song with the caption “Somebody needs to ask Erica what Jidenna did “.
A social media user identified as Zee Baby sparked a conversation by commenting, “Girlll switch it up a bit… change your sound.” Zee Baby claimed Simi’s music lacked innovation and had become monotonous.
The Zee Baby went as far as comparing Simi to her husband, stating that “Your hubby changes his sound and it’s amazing to see. Do the same you’re too good to be doing basic shit”
Simi’s witty response addressed the criticism head-on: “Lol you people see I’m minding my business yea? Alright alright Zeebaby, talk to me. Tell me the last say… 10 songs I’ve put out and let’s dissect. Which ones sound the same? Then tell me how your faves are doing it different/better than me. Or perhaps u want me to change my genre? Or I should use more lamba [Nigerian slang for empty talk]? Or is it my voice? It’s too soft or sweet or sharp for you? I should swallow balloon for diversity? We’re not fighting. I honestly want your feedback. Direct me. Help me Zeebaby.“
She continued “And please nothing like “don’t let them bring you down”. Worstest. They can’t bring Simisola down. They can only say they don’t like my cloth…and some days me too I don’t like my cloth. However sometimes if someone says “Are you mad?” You have to say “it’s your daddy that is mad.” For the culture.”
