Nigerian music power couple Simi and Adekunle Gold are currently trending online after several controversial tweets from their past resurfaced, sparking heavy backlash across social media.
The situation started after Simi reacted to the viral Mirabel false rape allegation case.
In her comment, she said rapists should be “castrated and burnt alive.”
However, when someone asked if the same harsh punishment should apply to people who falsely accuse others of rape, Simi replied with “STFU.”
That response triggered criticism from many users on X (Twitter), who accused her of showing bias and double standards.
Things escalated quickly after it was confirmed that Mirabel had actually lied about the rape allegation. Critics then began digging through old tweets from Simi and eventually her husband, Adekunle Gold.
Since they are married, many online users began dragging both of them.

Simi’s Old Tweets Resurface
Several tweets from 2012 and 2013 began circulating again online.
One of the most controversial tweets involved a 4-year-old boy named David.
In the tweets, Simi joked about the child supposedly having a crush on her, coming close to her, and resting his head on her lap. She jokingly asked if she should “give him a chance.”
Another resurfaced tweet referenced the same child allegedly trying to put his hand inside her clothing.
Many people online described the comments as disturbing and inappropriate, especially because they involved a minor. Some critics even called for accountability and further investigation.

Adekunle Gold’s Old Tweets
As the controversy grew, attention also shifted to Adekunle Gold’s past tweets.
One tweet from 2013 mentioned that he didn’t like girls who sat with their legs closed.
Another tweet suggested he preferred girls who were “very vulnerable and defenseless.”
These tweets also sparked criticism, with many saying they contradict the clean and respectful public image he currently has.

Simi Responds to the Backlash
Following the growing outrage, Simi released a long statement explaining the context behind the tweets.
According to her, she was 23 years old at the time, living with her mother and helping out at her mother’s daycare while working on her music career.
She said she often tweeted about random everyday moments, including funny situations involving children at the daycare.
Simi insisted the comments were never intended to be sexual or inappropriate, and that she has never engaged in any depraved behavior.
She also reminded people that she has consistently spoken out against rape and sexual assault.

Mixed Reactions Online
Despite her explanation, social media remains divided.
Some people believe public figures should be held accountable for their past statements, no matter how long ago they were made.
Others argue that the tweets are over 10 years old, and people can grow and change over time.
One thing is clear:
Old social media posts can quickly come back to haunt celebrities even years later.
