Simi Regrets Music Comments, Clarifies Misunderstanding
Nigerian singer Simi has expressed regret over her recent comments about her knowledge of music and her struggle to keep up with trends. In a recent interview, she mentioned that she mainly listens to her own music and that of her husband, Adekunle Gold, which led to confusion and criticism.
In a follow-up post on X, Simi clarified that her remarks were meant casually and not literally. She explained that she does enjoy music and regularly shares her favorite songs on Twitter. Simi acknowledged that her statements might have seemed out of touch or boastful, but emphasized that she struggles with staying current on various trends, not just music. She also expressed disappointment that her informal comments were taken out of context and criticized for being misleading. Despite the backlash, Simi is moving on and focusing on her music.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
