Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, has clapped back at fans who criticised her style of music.
It all started when the ‘Duduke’ crooner shared a clip of her singing one of her new songs via X platform.
Reacting to the now-viral video, a fan identified on X as @Zeebaby_X quoted her post, and suggested that she should “switch up” her sound.
She wrote, “Girlll switch it up a bit… change your sound.
“Your hubby changes his sound and it’s amazing to see. Do the same you’re too good to be doing basic shit.”
Similarly, another fan took the comment section and supported the observation made by the netizen.

Angered by the comments, Simi replied, “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? 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.”
In another thread, the ‘Duduke’ crooner urged those who do not like her songs to go and listen to other artistes.
She went on to claim that British superstar Adele does the same genre of music and her fans do not complain.
She tweeted, “Omo because I’m doing girl next door, some of you think maybe I’m ok like that. If you don’t like my song, please go and listen to your faves. I’m begging. If it’s the features you want to allow yourself acknowledge my talent, hear that one and be going.
“Na the same ballad Adele dey sing all these days, her people no disturb am. E fi mi sile. If you don’t like what I’m selling, go and listen to the one you like. Unless you don’t have data. And if you don’t have, owo e lo wa ku si.”
