Popular Nigerian singer/songwriter, Simi has opened up about how she feels about the X platform and why she responds the way she does.
She made this known on the Zero Conditions Podcast where she discussed her music career.
Simi addressed questions about her reputation for witty, sometimes harsh responses on Twitter.
She explained that she never intended to be “savage,” saying, “I feel like I still am sometimes; maybe it’s because I’m not on Twitter as much as I used to be. I don’t see it as being ‘savage’ because my goal is not to be savage.”.
The singer emphasized that her online personality reflects her real-life demeanor. “That’s how I am in real life, though; I’d say I’m very quick with it. If someone says sorry, I would say sorry for yourself; I’m a joker as well,” Simi shared.
However, Simi noted a shift in her social media engagement, particularly on Twitter. She explained, “Twitter isn’t the way it used to be; it used to be better. I don’t think it’s because people are now awake, though. I feel like Twitter has become a competition for who can be the most toxic or the loudest person and I don’t have fun with it like I used to. Now I hardly go on it.”

Burna Boy rebuffed: “No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.”
