Nigerian Singer Simisola
Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi has said her major focus is on her
music, while every other thing is secondary.
The soft-voiced singer spoke to punch in reaction to some comments by fans online that her fashion style is below par.
She
stated, “I believe that everybody is entitled to their opinions. Some
people may say that they don’t like my dress, shoes or any other thing. I
don’t find that surprising or strange because there are also a lot of
dresses and shoes that I don’t like. I like to be comfortable in
whatever I wear and that is what dictates my outfits.
A lot of
people have expressed their views about my dress sense on social media.
Sometimes, I ‘humour’ them. You can express yourself on my page but
don’t be rude or insulting. Some of the people, who make those comments,
are just full of hate and they just go all around the Internet, looking
for where to spread their hate. I am comfortable in my own skin and I
just want to keep making good music and connect with my true fans.
Recalling
her experience of being the chief bridesmaid at her mother’s second
wedding some weeks ago, Simi said, “It was a wonderful experience.
Seeing my mother so happy was something I definitely enjoyed. I wish her
and her husband best of luck in their marital journey.
Speaking
on the success of her sophomore album, Simi, she said, “My last album,
generated a lot of amazing responses and it really humbled me. It truly
pays for one to be consistent and stay true to your roots. The album
contains songs for everybody and different moods and I’m happy that
people are still discovering messages from the album.
