Nigerian singer Simi has humorously responded to critics after being called out for wearing a swimsuit to a pool party as a married woman.

Taking to her Instagram account on July 9, 2024, the singer addressed the issue in a witty manner and apologised for wearing a one-piece swimsuit.

“I just came here feeling repentant; yesterday I went to the swimming pool and I wore a swimsuit, guys, and I’m just so sorry,” Simi began, acknowledging the backlash. “Honestly, I just wasn’t thinking; I didn’t think.”

The singer playfully noted that she would wear a kaftan to the next pool party she attends.

“My friend told me, ‘Sims, you can’t wear a swimsuit at the pool; you’re married’. I should have known better; I didn’t know better, and I’m sorry. Next time I go to the swimming pool, as a sign of respect to my husband, I will wear a kaftan. I will do better than the best. I don’t want to disappoint you,” she said.

In like fashion, she lightheartedly encouraged her followers and critics to support her music amidst the controversy.

She concluded, “If nothing, please stream my album Lost and Found, because I was lost at the pool and now I’m found.”

Her post raked up equally-witty comments from her fans, followers, and fellow celebrities who played along with her.

Falz wrote, “I cannot believe you. And you’re supposed to be a mother figure.” Singer Teni wrote, “Na damask you for wear,” and media personality Isbae U commented, “I’m just glad you have learned your lessons. Next time you need to go to a pool, wear Dungarees Abeg or Abaya.”

All this comes after her video from her friend’s pool party went viral across social media, and in the video, she was seen indulging in a playful trend with other attendees. While many found the video playful and funny, others took note of her one-piece swimsuit and slammed her for exposing her body as a married woman.

“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.

This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.

“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.

“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”

Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.

Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.

“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.

“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.

“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”

Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.

“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
