Nigerian music stars Simi and Adekunle Gold have welcomed their second child, marking another new chapter in their family life.

The announcement came on April 1, 2026, when Simi shared the news with a heartfelt message to her official Instagram, revealing that the baby arrived on March 10. In her post, she described herself as a “mommy of two,” confirming what many had long speculated in recent weeks.

Since getting married in 2019, Simi and Adekunle Gold have built one of Nigerian pop culture’s most admired unions, balancing music careers with a growing family. Their first child, Deja, was born in 2020 and has occasionally appeared in careful moments shared online.

Over the years, both artists have evolved beyond just their music. Simi’s songwriting and vocal style have remained rooted in emotional clarity, while Adekunle Gold has reshaped his sound from alternative highlife into a more global, genre-fluid identity. 

Reactions have poured in across social media, with fans and fellow artists celebrating the news. 

In an industry often driven by constant visibility, their approach remains distinct. And with this new addition, that balance between public life and private joy continues to define their journey.

Nigerian singer Simi has responded after several of her old tweets resurfaced online, prompting criticism and debate across social media.

The posts, originally shared between 2012 and 2013, began circulating this week, with some users questioning their wording and intent. The resurfaced tweets referenced children at a daycare where the singer said she once lived and helped out while pursuing her music career.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Simi acknowledged the tweets and addressed the growing conversation around them.

“I haven’t been on twitter today – but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can’t not address it,” she wrote.

She clarified that at the time of the tweets; approximately 14 years ago,  she was 23 years old and assisting at her mother’s daycare. According to the singer, she frequently posted about everyday experiences during that period.

“In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom’s daycare while I was hustling my music. I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time,” she stated.

Simi explained that the posts about children were expressions of affection or humor and denied any inappropriate intent.

“Nothing I tweeted was from perversion,” she wrote, adding that she would not allow her story to be twisted to fit what she described as false narratives.

She also disclosed that members of her team have deleted some of the resurfaced tweets due to the sensitivity of the situation for her family. While she said she initially did not want them removed, she acknowledged the broader implications.

The singer further emphasized her history of speaking out against sexual violence.

“I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It’s not a costume I’m wearing, it’s who I am,” she wrote. “I said stop raping women. I stand by it.”

As of the time of this report, there are no legal allegations linked to the resurfaced posts. The issue remains confined to online discourse and public reaction.

Simi has not issued additional statements beyond her initial response.
