Simisola Kosoko, the famous Nigerian singer and performing artiste, who is simply known as Simi, has opened up about how she handles stage fright.

The ‘Joromi’ crooner, who revealed that she has a terrible history with stage fright, stated that for her, the first few times of performing a new song live on stage are like “trying on a new pair of shoes that needs adjustments.”

She explained that she had to give her brain time to bond with the song so it could learn to disregard her nervousness.

Sharing a clip of herself rehearsing a song from her latest album, ‘Lost And Found,’ via X, 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.

“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.”

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.”

Nigerian singer/songwriter, Simi has extended her support for the ongoing anti-tax hike protests in Kenya.

Kenyan youths are marching against tax hike in widespread demonstrations tagged ‘RejectFinanceBill2024.’

Five people were shot dead and dozens wounded after police clashed with protesters who stormed the parliament building in Nairobi on Tuesday, according to Amnesty Kenya.

Reacting via her X handle on Tuesday night, Simi declared her support for the demonstrators.

She stated that it is both powerful and heartbreaking for people to have to fight and die for freedom and rights.

The singer wrote, “I stand with the people of Kenya. It is both powerful and heartbreaking for a people to have to fight and die for freedoms and rights. Godspeed and Strength. [Hash tag] RejectFinanceBill2024.”

In a series of other posts, she wrote: “Wow. When you’ve had enough, the fight is almost inevitable.

“I can’t wait for the day Africa is not a weapon fashioned against Africans. All of this amazing Black power and human resource, but the majority are not likely to thrive unless they run.”

Simi Kosoko, the popular Nigerian Singer, has revealed that she does not charge artists for a feature.

Simi made this known in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.

According to the mother of one, she’s selective of the kind of songs she features in and will only feature in the song if she really likes it.

“Till this moment, I have never charged for a feature. For me to do a feature I have to really like it.

“I have to like the song. If I like the song, give me half a day, I am done. If I don’t like the song I will most likely say no. It’s not personal. I can take a ‘No. Things are not personal, it’s just what it is .”

Simi Kosoko, the popular Nigerian singer, who is simply known as Simi, has said she is in support of intending couples living together before marriage.

She explained that cohabiting would allow an intending couple to know each other better before deciding to get married.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Simi revealed that she was cohabiting with her husband, Adekunle Gold before they got married.

She said, “I used to go over to Adekunle Gold’s place for us to spend time together.

“When you live with someone you know all the sides to them, that is when you really know if you can do forever with them. Millions of people have gotten married without living together. But I personally think it’s a good idea to cohabit before marriage. It doesn’t have to be for long.”
