Nigerian artist Simisola Kosoko, better known by her stage name Simi, has been enraged with fans who want her to alter her musical taste.
The “Duduke” crooner posted a video of herself performing one of her new songs on the X platform. A fan cited the post and requested that she “switch up” the tone.
The fan with the handle @Zeebaby_X 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.”
Other fans also took the comment section, concording with her.
Angered by the conversation sparked by her comment, Simi wrote, “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.”
The artist advised people who disliked her tracks to check out other bands in a different thread.
She clarified that although British music icon Adele performs the same genre of music, her fans are not offended.
She wrote, “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.”
