Simi reacts to shocking video of how African mothers act when they go out together.
Nigerian talented artist Simi, reacted to a video uploaded by well-known skit makers that purportedly shows how African moms behave when they go out together.
The video in question portrayed African mothers in a manner that many viewers found offensive and stereotypical, depicting them as noisy and eating in an awkward manner.
This portrayal sparked a significant backlash on social media from Africans who had watched the video. Among those who reacted to the video was the acclaimed singer Simi, who used her platform to address the issue.
Simi not only called out the individuals responsible for the video but also sought to clarify that African women do not typically behave in such a manner when they gather together.
Her response added to the broader conversation about the importance of avoiding harmful stereotypes in media and entertainment.
The singer shared a post on X which is formerly known as Twitter that expressed her distaste for the video as it read, “That video about African moms where they looked a mess and were eating like dogs made me mad af. I don’t know anybody’s mom that acts like that. Y’all get your jokes together.”
