If you’re in Lagos, come hang with me. Let’s see this beautiful movie together. 🧡

Wo! This twitter is not a real place. You’ll wake up one morning and banger boys and girls will decide to spin a narrative on you, flip your own words to look like the worst and bully you.

If I say “rapists deserve to die” and you comment “what about false accusers?”, I will tell you to “STFU” too.

[Simi @SympLySimi]

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.

14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.

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. Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable. I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion.

I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life. You can retweet all the tweets in the world about me loudly crushing on people I admire/d. Or being a cheeky young woman. I wasn't trying to hide it, because I don't have anything to hide.

My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to. 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. I've never claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.

But what did Spurs do to Eze?😂

@ManUtdWomen It wasn’t our day but we fought till the very end.

[Cotterell🖤 @_obalari]

The girls fought long and hard. Super proud of them regardless.

@bolutifee___ I truly wonder who the “us” is. Rapists perhaps?

So good, Evergreen ❤❤

You want Simi to apologize so you can feel powerful for five minutes in your painfully average lives. You need a public apology to soothe an ego that has never achieved anything substantial on its own.
Have you ever demanded an apology from the mirror? From the circumstances that made you this bitter? Or is it easier to harass a woman online because she said something as radical as “stop r@ping women”?
You’re not principled. You’re not brave. You’re not defenders of morality. You’re just loud, empty people looking for significance.
If outrage is the only thing that makes you feel relevant, that’s your personal tragedy
You mistake noise for power. Harassment for relevance. Outrage for intelligence.
It’s fascinating how people with no measurable impact in the real world suddenly become moral authorities online. You contribute nothing, build nothing, create nothing but you feel entitled to dictate who should apologize.
And the saddest part? After all the insults, all the mobbing, all the theatrics your life will still be exactly what it was before you logged on.
Unimproved. Unremarkable. Unmoved.

These Chelsea team has been the bane of our existence. We hope to end that today.

@_Afcbanks This is why everyone hates arsenal.

Tullis-Joyce, thank you 😭.

[Cotterell🖤 @_obalari]

Please when blocking those mofos in her CS, make sure to report because that’s outright bullying.
