In a recent interview on The Roadshow on Cool FM, Nigerian Afrobeat star Simi shared how her views on motherhood transformed after the birth of her daughter, Adejare. Simi admitted that before becoming a mother, she envisioned having multiple nannies but has instead become a very hands-on mom.
"Before I had my daughter, I used to say that I would have five nannies and my nanny would have a nanny; that’s not the case," Simi revealed. "I’m super hands-on. In fact, when we’re in the States, I don’t have any nannies, but here I have someone to watch her when I have to work because I’m busier here than there. That’s just not the kind of mum I ended up being."
Reflecting on her initial expectations, Simi added, "I was so certain back then that I was like, ‘I will have two nannies and those nannies will have a nanny and their nannies will have nannies too’. I shouldn’t have thought that, though, knowing me, I really shouldn’t have."
Beyond motherhood, Simi expressed a desire to explore new creative interests. She revealed plans to write a novel and work on a children’s project. "I’m trying to write a book, a novel. I used to say that if I wasn’t an artiste I would probably be a novelist. Maybe some romance, some fantasy, some suspense. I also want to work on a children’s project; it’s an untapped market," Simi shared.
Simi's candid revelations offer a glimpse into her personal growth and evolving creative aspirations, highlighting her commitment to both her family and artistic endeavors.
