    “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.“

    “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.”

    Simi urges her followers to be careful with labeling everyone as a friend

    Popular Nigerian  singer, Simi has urged her followers to be careful with labeling everyone as a friend with emphasis on the need to guard one’s personal space.

    Simi noted that casual interactions and occasional positive vibes should not automatically qualify someone as a best friend.

    The singer highlighted the importance of being selective about who is allowed into one’s inner circle, stating that making someone smile should not grant unrestricted access to one’s heart and spirit.

    She addressed the common misconception that if one invests more in a relationship than the other person, it doesn’t necessarily mean the other person is a bad friend or dislikes them.

    “Y’all just be calling ANYBODY your friend and then act surprised when they act like your enemy.

    “You can be cool or vibe with someone every once in a while, but that def does not mean you’re now besties. Protect your space and stop giving every single person that made you smile once access to your heart and spirit.

    “And this might be hard to hear (read) – but sometimes when you’re riding hard for someone that is not doing the same for you, it’s not always because they don’t like you or that they’re “bad friends” they probably just never really saw you the same way. you saw then. That. Is. Okay.

    “Nobody’s life revolves around you except your own. Choose the people that choose you too. If you’re confused, communicate. Now stand up from your pity party and have a great day today.”

    “My year didn’t go how I planned. I’m not mad about it; I’m just stating for the record. I’d be crazy to give life any ultimatums, because by design, life is unpredictable.

    “I only put out one song this year. A ballad. In the middle of the year. I had plans for multiple singles and an album. I did. But the music business is so fickle, it’s amusing. The wheels that turn behind the scenes are emotionless.

    This epistle is dedicated to my fans. Despite the many long waits you have endured for my sake, you support me. Still.

    “Again and again. I don’t take you for granted and I hope that’s a truth you don’t forget. I wasn’t going to post this stuff, because I didn’t see the point. But you’re the point.

    ” This is one app. So the numbers are only a symbol and I want to say that I see you. Thank you for seeing me too.

    I pushed my stuff to next year, because I like the idea of starting afresh. So, I hope you’re ready.”
