A social media user made a U-turn and apologised after posting a highly inappropriate remark about Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, involving her five-year-old daughter with fellow singer Adekunle Gold.
The X user identified as @boutmoney112 posted a disturbing tweet that left many Nigerians furious on December 20, 2025.

The post speculated about the 37-year-old singer's age, claiming she was at "menopause age" and raising questions about what would happen if her only child died.
He attached photos of Simi and her daughter, Adejare Kosoko, fondly called Deja, to the post. His words read:
"Simi is at her menopause age and she has just one child what if her child die??"
Recall that Simi, known for hit songs like Joromi, has been married to Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, popularly called Adekunle Gold, since 2019. The couple welcomed Deja in 2020.
The post immediately drew heavy criticism from netizens who labelled it vile, disgusting, and deeply offensive. Many called for legal action under Nigeria's Cybercrimes Act, which prohibits online harassment and defamation.
On December 21, 2025, @boutmoney112 made a sudden U-turn and issued a public apology, tagging both Simi and Adekunle Gold. He admitted he was "a very big fool" for making such a post.
He wrote:
"I want to sincerely apologize for making this tweet, i am a very big fool tweeting something like this. @adekunleGOLD and @SympLySimi, I'm truly sorry. I will never make this tweet again. I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me. Thank you and God bless you, dad and mom."
Following the apology tweet, netizens pointed out that the apology felt insincere because the user had not removed the original offensive post.
As of December 22, neither Simi nor Adekunle Gold has publicly responded to the incident.
