Simi ‘apologises’ after being called out for wearing a swimsuit to the pool.
Popular Nigerian singer Simi has apologized after facing backlash for wearing a revealing swimsuit to a poolside event.
Some fans criticized Simi, arguing that as a married woman, she should have dressed more modestly.
In response, Simi took to her Instagram account on July 9, 2024, to address the issue in a witty manner and apologize for wearing the one-piece swimsuit.
“I just came here feeling repentant; yesterday I went to the swimming pool and I wore a swimsuit, guys, and I’m just so sorry,” Simi began, acknowledging the backlash. “Honestly, I just wasn’t thinking; I didn’t think.”
The singer playfully noted that she would wear a kaftan to the next pool party she attends. “My friend told me, ‘Sims, you can’t wear a swimsuit at the pool; you’re married’. I should have known better; I didn’t know better, and I’m sorry.
Next time I go to the swimming pool, as a sign of respect to my husband, I will wear a kaftan. I will do better than the best. I don’t want to disappoint you,” she said.
She lightheartedly encouraged her followers and critics to support her music amidst the controversy. “If nothing, please stream my album ‘Lost and Found,’ because I was lost at the pool and now I’m found.”
