Nigerian singer Simi, also known as Simisola Kosoko, recently found herself in a heated exchange with fans who criticized her music style. The talented ‘Duduke’ singer shared a snippet of her new song on X platform, only to receive a comment from a fan suggesting she should “switch up” her sound.

The fan, identified as @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.” This comment sparked a debate among other fans who echoed similar sentiments.

Simi, clearly frustrated by the criticism, took to social media to address the issue directly. She challenged the fan to name her last 10 songs and compare them, asking for constructive feedback on how she could improve. In a bold move, she also pointed out that British superstar Adele sticks to a similar style of music without facing the same level of scrutiny from her fans.

Simi’s response highlights the pressure artists face to constantly evolve and meet the expectations of their audience. Despite the criticism, she remains unapologetic about her music style and urges fans to respect her artistic choices.

In a music industry where trends come and go, Simi’s unwavering commitment to her unique sound is a testament to her authenticity as an artist. As she navigates the complexities of fame and creativity, Simi’s message is clear: love it or leave it, she’s staying true to herself.
