Popular Nigerian singer, Simi, has tendered an apology after facing backlash for wearing a swimsuit to a poolside event.

The “Duduke” crooner was criticized by some netizens who felt that her revealing outfit was inappropriate for a married woman.

In response, Simi took to social media to apologize for her choice of attire, saying that she didn’t know better and promised to do better next time. However, many netizens detected a hint of sarcasm in her apology, which has sparked a lively debate online.

Simi’s apology read: “I want to apologize for wearing a swimsuit to the poolside event. I know better now and promise to wear a kaftan next time and sit by the poolside out of respect for my husband.”
