Social media critic Daniel Regha has strongly criticised Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, after she clarified her controversial tweets from 2012.
This came after Simi explained that her old posts, which resurfaced during her advocacy against sexual assault, were harmless expressions of affection towards children.

In those old posts made by Simi, she mentioned hugging and cuddling kids she found appealing, including a four-year-old boy, which many interpreted as inappropriate
Simi later explained that her words were meant to reflect innocent mischief and admiration for children’s cuteness, not anything sinister.
Daniel Regha, however, accused her of downplaying serious concerns and insisted that her explanation was unacceptable.
After her clarification, Regha responded by stating that Simi should have taken full responsibility instead of presenting her actions as harmless.
He said framing the issue as affection for children was misleading and described her behaviour as inappropriate.
“Simi could’ve easily owned up to her mistakes and taken serious accountability but instead tried to downplay the whole thing with the ‘I adore children’ card. What she did was p£rversion, there’s no two way around it, point blank period.”
Regha further criticised Simi’s statement about deleting tweets for family sensitivity, questioning why she would consider them sensitive if they were truly innocent.
“How dare you, Simi? If it wasn’t a problem and despicable act, it wouldn’t be sensitive for her family. Now that she’s a mother, let her switch the table and see how disturbing that act was. What an utterly stupid statement to put out.”
