Nigerian music star Simi has delivered a candid message about the dangers of living for public validation.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the singer advised people not to base their lives on the acceptance or admiration of others, describing such approval as unreliable and fleeting.
She wrote:
“Don’t live for the love of people. It’s fickle as f*ck. Live for truth. Be kind. Be honest. Live for God. And when people do show you love en masse, don’t bask in it too long. You MAY acknowledge it — but keep it moving. Because people forget. And if you forget that, you will suffer.”
The post has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many users resonating with her message. While some agreed wholeheartedly, others shared personal stories of how public praise quickly turned to criticism, reinforcing her point.
