Old social media posts by Nigerian singer Simi have resurfaced online, revealing her once-humorous admiration for American rapper J. Cole, sparking reactions among fans and internet users.

The tweets, shared years before her marriage, captured the singer joking about her attraction to the award-winning rapper and fantasising about meeting him. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In one of the posts that has now gone viral again, Simi wrote:

“If I see Cole, I will kiss his pinky n beg 4 his hand in marriage. If he say no, I will beg him for 1 baby. If he say no, Plan B: Babalawo.”

Another tweet from 2015 humorously read:

“Simi and J Cole sitting on a tree… K I S S I N G.”

In a separate post, she joked about possibly leaving her partner if she ever met the rapper.

“Bae knows to hold on to me tight if we ever around J Cole. Because I might just switch bfs. Kinna like a Sim Swap. Just like that.”

The singer also teased about being jealous of the rapper’s wife in a 2016 tweet, writing:

“Like now, I’m a hater of J Cole’s wife. You dig?”

In another playful confession, she wrote:

“I’m ready to sacrifice everything for J.Cole, but he doesn’t even read my twitter messages.”

Social Media Reactions

The resurfaced posts have triggered mixed reactions online, with many fans finding the tweets amusing and relatable, while others noted how old celebrity posts often resurface years later in the age of digital footprints.

Observers pointed out that the tweets reflected a lighthearted celebrity crush rather than serious intent, as Simi has since moved on with her life and career.

The singer is currently married to fellow Nigerian artiste Adekunle Gold, and the couple share a daughter together.

I only brokeup with Burna Boy last year.
Who do you want to go show it to? Some of you are obsessed with putting marriages under pressure. As AJ no gree pursue her back to her father's house, next thing is to say he is a simp.

Abeg make I hear word. At one point in our lives we all have that person we did crushed on. Rihanna was my crush back then but does it automatically mean I still have any romantic crush on her; NO.
