Simi Faces Backlash As 2012 Tweets About 4-Year-Old Boy Resurface Online
Old social media posts made by Nigerian singer Simi in 2012 have resurfaced online, triggering mixed reactions across social platforms. The tweets, written when she was 24, show the singer playfully commenting about a four-year-old boy she said had a crush on her. The posts have since ignited debate, with some users criticising the remarks as inappropriate and questioning accountability, while others argue the comments may have been taken out of context or were intended as humour. In one of the resurfaced tweets, she wrote: “Davido has a crush one me, He kips comn close; actn like he wanna lock lips n den puts his head on my lap, should I give him a chance? P.S: He’s 4.” The tweet has divided opinion online, with critics describing it as disturbing, while supporters insist it was a lighthearted joke that is now being interpreted differently years later.
