Simi has tendered an unreserved apology to the LGBTQ community for a homophobic statement she made on her Youtube show, “Stoopid Sessions“.
The ‘Duduke’ crooner in an episode that was supposed to tackle the topic of dating among millennials, called homosexuality, “abnormal.”
The show had on co-hosted Sess, Kiekie and Iyanuoluwa, and sampled an array of opinions that ranged from dating that starts without much preamble, sexual propositions that are forthright and who owns the dating prerogative between men and women.
She said: “They say they’re born that way, but I haven’t seen any biological proof.
The comment drew widespread criticism among the LGBTQ community, with Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi calling her out on social media.
However, the singer has now taken to her Twitter to apologise for the comments, sating that she had no intention to hurt.
According to her, she revealed that she is in a learning phase, and though she understands discrimination as a woman, she doesn’t have a full grasp on the unique ways the LGBTQ community experiences it.
She wrote;
📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
