Nigerian singer Simi recently shared her thoughts on friendship and explained why she doesn’t have many friends. In an interview with VJ Adams, Simi spoke about her personality and how it affects her relationships within the Nigerian entertainment industry.

While Simi maintains respectful relationships with her colleagues, she said that most of her real friends are outside the industry. “My friends in the industry are my guys. They’re not friends because they are in the industry,” she explained. She went on to admit that her personality doesn’t always align with the entertainment world’s expectations.

Simi revealed, “I’m really bad at that, and I always say that I think I have the wrong personality for the industry I have the passion for. I’m only doing music because I like music, and there are many things that I like and know how to do, but I feel like my personality is not compatible.”

She also discussed how she struggles with networking and socializing at industry events. “I’m really not good at networking, and I don’t know how to engage like that,” she said. Simi acknowledged that making connections doesn’t come naturally to her, and she has to put in extra effort.

In addition to her thoughts on friendship, Simi shared some details about her family life. She is married to fellow musician Adekunle Gold, and the couple has a child born in 2020. Despite being in the public eye, they keep their personal lives relatively private.

Simi’s openness about her personality and her approach to relationships gives fans a deeper look into her world, showing that she is true to herself both on and off the stage.
