Singer Simi reveals why she stopped being savage on Twitter. The Nigerian singer talked about how she has stopped writing clever and mean comebacks on Twitter because of changes in the platform’s culture over time.
The singer was a guest on a recent episode of the Zero Conditions Podcast. She talked about her songs and the music business in general. Simi explained that her goal was never to be intentionally rude, but to react in an honest way when asked why she stopped being rude.

She said: “I feel like I still am sometimes; maybe it’s because I’m not on Twitter as much as I used to be. I don’t see it as being ‘savage’ because my goal is not to be savage.
She laughed and revealed that she is just as witty in real life as she is online. She added, “Sometimes people see your response and are always like, ‘You’re always clapping back,’ but compared to how much stuff you see online, I hardly ever reply honestly.”
“That’s how I am in real life, though; I’d say I’m very quick with it. If someone says sorry, I would say sorry for yourself; I’m a joker as well,” she said.
She concluded, “Twitter isn’t the way it used to be; it used to be better. I don’t think it’s because people are now awake, though. I feel like Twitter has become a competition for who can be the most toxic or the loudest person and I don’t have fun with it like I used to. Now I hardly go on it.”
