“My voice is incredibly distinct, it's in your face,” - Simi’s letter to trolls

Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, famously known as Simi fumes out against Trolls and critics who have been attacking her over her voice and style of music.

The Nigerian star fired back after a Twitter user wrote, "Girl switch it up a bit… change your sound."

“Your hubby changes his sound and it is amazing to see. Do the same, you are too good to be doing basic shit.”

The Joromi crooner replied with a thread of tweets, as she exuded anger and the user and other critics.

“Tell me the last say… 10 songs I have put out and let us dissect. Which ones sound the same? Then tell me how your faves are doing it different/better than me,” she wrote.

“Or perhaps u want me to change my genre? Or I should use more lamba? Or is it my voice? It is too soft or sweet or sharp for you? I should swallow balloon for diversity? We are not fighting. I honestly want your feedback. Direct me. Help me Zeebaby.”

In another post, Simi bragged about her voice being distinct and further expressed herself in what seems like a lengthy letter to critics and trolls.

"I know some of you honestly struggle and don't know why, so let me help you. My voice is so, so incredibly distinct. It's in your face. It's beautiful and sweet and soft, but it can be piercing and in your face. It doesn't melt and get lost in a beat like most voices do."

"So regardless of what style or tempo of music I'm singing on, the first thing you'll notice about my song is my voice. Not the beat. This is what the majority of people love the most about me - the piercing nature of my voice. So they love everything I sing on. Some people love my songs more than my voice, because let's face it, I'm a fantastic songwriter...but for them, my voice is too piercing sometimes and gets in the way. For some, because of how my voice stands out, it sounds like they're hearing the same kind of music - even when they're listening to me sing 5 diff genres back to back." 

"That's why my features work for many of you (you probably didn't even know that). The balance of someone else's voice can distract you and then when you hear my voice again, you have space to love it. I know my voice. It is my super power, but that power has its consequence. I accept it."

"I can NOT change my voice. Even if I could, I do not want to. This is why I insist that you take what you can, when you can and keep it moving - but do not insult me or all the hard work I do. Stop that shit! I'm too good at what I do for these ignorant takes. So get your shit together and do better."

Simi concluded her note with an expression of love to her fans.

"I love love love my fans. I cater to them first. When everyone else dials in for the shit they like, I'm grateful for them too. But please don't be obtuse and insult me."
