Nigerian songstress, Simi has always expressed her
displeasure for cybercrime. Months back, the singer urged internet fraudsters
not to buy her music.
When Naira Marley started his social media campaign in
support of cybercrime, Simi was quick to criticize him.
Just before his arrest, Naira Marley had revealed that Simi
snubbed him at an event.
When Simi was asked to share her opinion about Naira
Marley’s arrest on a recent radio show, she said: ”To be honest with you, I
have zero issues with Naira Marley, I don’t have anything against him, he is
not my enemy. We are not friends, we are not enemies. I saw him coming, we did
not make eyes contacts, he did not talk to me, I did not talk to him. It is
funny because he didn’t do anything to me, he did not directly disrespect me, he
is not the first person that would say what he is saying.
“I’m not a stupid person; I’m not going to antagonize you
because I’m not dumb. I like to mind my business. Probably he saw something and
said something else. But he never spoke to me, he didn’t approach me and I saw
that and I said whatever makes you happy. And for me, I’m a big picture person,
I look at the big picture and if you are not in the picture, I’m not going to
stress myself”, she revealed.
During a question and session Simi had with her fans on
Wednesday, 22nd of May 2019, she was asked If she is happy about Naira Marley’s
arrest, she said: “No”.
In April, during an Instagram live session, Naira Marley
urged Nigerians to pray for internet fraudsters (Yahoo boys) “as they are
crucial to the circulation of money in the economy.”
In the suit before the court, EFCC is using section 33 (2)
of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act.
The charges against the singer read in part: “That you,
Azeez Adeshina Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and Raze (still at large), on or
about the 11th day of December 2018, within the jurisdiction of this honourable
