Popular singer Simi has issued a sincere apology after receiving criticism for wearing a swimsuit to a poolside event, despite being a married woman.
The ‘Duduke’ singer was recently spotted at the event in a swimsuit that revealed some parts of her body. Self-righteous netizens chastised her for the outfit, reminding her of her marital status.
In response, Simi apologized, admitting she should have known better and promising to do better next time. She acknowledged it was an error on her part and assured that she would not wear such an outfit again.
Simi humorously assured netizens that she would wear a kaftan and sit by the poolside out of respect for her husband in the future.
Many netizens believed her apology was sarcastic, as evidenced by their reactions:
ossybrown said: “You took her content and cut off the part she asked people to listen to her new album. The evil of mainstream journalism, sha.”

uncle_jeff_official penned: “Did her husband complain? If no, then why give in to social media pressure to apologize? Na wa ohh.”
emeka_ stated: “Who says married women can’t wear swimsuits? On top of a marriage that’s not even our own.”
a.d.e.j.o.k.e1 remarked: “Stream the ‘Lost and Found’ album. She said she was lost while wearing that and now she’s found herself.”
obianuju_priscillia_ commented: “The husband who owns the package didn’t complain, and you think your opinion counts? Whereas some of you who cover up from head to toe do worse things behind closed doors.”
