Popular Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko has addressed a comment she made about not listening to music.
Simi said she is not proud of her lack of knowledge about music and is actually terrible at keeping up with trends.
She added that she should have been more careful with her statement that she does not really listen to music.
New Telegraph recalls that the singer said during an interview that she only listens to her songs and those of her husband Adekunle Gold.
Speaking via a recent X post, Simi explained that her remarks were meant in a casual, conversational context and not intended to be taken literally.
She clarified that she enjoys music and often shares her favourite songs and discoveries on Twitter.

She wrote, “In hindsight, I should have had this conversation more carefully. I didn’t because I honestly didn’t consider that it could be something that some might consider as cocky. I’ve never been proud of it. I don’t even see how it’s something to be proud of.
“I do see how repeatedly saying ‘I don’t listen to anything’ can come off as weird, but it was not literal. I’m always tweeting about songs I like or sounds I discovered.
“I’m just terrible at keeping up with things that most other people know. Not just with music. I don’t remember names. I don’t know what charts or shows are trending, I’m always singing the wrong song on the wrong beat, so my friends dey always tell me ‘You no dey ever know anything.”
Simi attributed the misunderstanding to the informal nature of the interview and expressed disappointment that her words were taken out of context.
She added: “It was banter in the wrong place. This is why I know I should have had this convo more carefully. It was a 2-hour interview with drinking and cussing, so I was chatting like I would with my friends.
“ It does hurt that whoever cut that clip and wrote that headline did it with intention. It’s impossible to watch the entire interview and come away with the feeling that you would have watched the clip that everyone was sharing.
“It’s all good though. All is well. My friends did say to leave it alone, but things linger. And I really hate being called a liar. But e don finish now,”
