Singer Simi has addressed backlash over old tweets that resurfaced, sparking criticism and debate. The tweets, from 2012, referenced a 4-year-old boy allegedly having a crush on her, with some interpreting them as inappropriate.
Simi clarified that she was 23 at the time, working at her mom’s daycare, and tweeted about everyday life, including funny moments with kids.
“I’ve never been depraved in my life,” Simi stated, emphasizing her tweets were misinterpreted and taken out of context. She reiterated her long-standing advocacy against rape and sexual assault, saying, “It’s not a costume I’m wearing, it’s who I am”.
The controversy follows Simi’s earlier comments on rape, where she urged men to hold peers accountable and condemned sexual violence. Critics argue her stance is one-sided, ignoring false accusations, while supporters maintain her message remains valid.
Simi’s team has been deleting old tweets due to sensitivity concerns, but she initially resisted. She locked her comment section on X, citing the need to protect her family as her dirty secrets are brought to the fore.
A netizen who has record of Simi’s past had posted a damaging secret of her pedophilic disposition around young boys in her mother’s day care facility.
“I had to summon courage to come forward and tell my story about Simi and her Mother’s Day care.
I remember it in fragments.
I was just a child (5 years old) when my mother dropped me off at Simi mum’s daycare.
Back then, I didn’t even have the language to explain what was happening I only knew that something felt wrong.
She was trusted. Simi Smiled in front of parents. Spoke softly. Prayed loudly. But behind closed doors, that softness disappeared. The room would go quiet in a different way. Heavy. S¥ff©c@ting.
There were things she did to me, to us that no child should ever experience. Things I buried so deep that for years I convinced myself they weren’t real.
I told myself I was ‘too young to remember clearly.’ That maybe I misunderstood. But tr@um@ doesn’t forget, even when you try to.
Today, I’m typing this with shaking hands and t£@rs in my eyes. Not because I want p!ty. But because silence protects people like her. And it tr@ps people like us.
If you were a child and something felt wr©ng, it probably was.
And if you’re still carrying it in silence you’re not alone anymore”— man reveals.
Netizens believe the singer has mistakenly launched a search light on her past. A post about her said “If she had such a dirty past, including raping a 16 year old boy she shouldn’t have stirred the waters. Those who live in glass houses don’t throw stones”.
