Nigerian R&B singer, Simisola Kosoko simply known as Simi, has retracted her statement about not listening to songs released by her colleagues in the industry.
CorrectNG recalls that the ‘JAMB Question’ crooner faced backlash after saying that she doesn’t listen to other artistes’ songs aside from those of her husband, Adekunle Gold.
Revisiting her statement in a post on microblogging platform, Twitter, Simi acknowledged that what she said was “weird” as she should have approached the conversation thoughtfully.
According to the mother-of-one, she did not consider what she said as offensive and she has never been a proud person.
She described it as pure banter and acknowledged that she was speaking in the interview as though it were a casual chat with a group of friends over drinks.
Simi said; “In hindsight, I should have had this conversation more carefully. I didn’t because I honestly don’t consider that it could be something that might be considered as cocky. I have never been proud of it. I do not even see how it is something to be proud about.
“It was banter. In the wrong place. This is why I know I should have been more careful. It was a 2 hour interview with drinking and cussing, so I was chatting like I would with friends. It does hurt that whoever cut that clip and wrote that headline did it with intention.
“It is impossible to watch the entire interview and come away with the feeling that you would have watched the clip that everyone was sharing”.
