Simi Awaits NAPTIP Probe As Controversy Over Past Tweets Flares

Singer and mother, Simi, is reportedly awaiting the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) probe as controversy over her past tweets continues to fester amid claims that some of her posts suggest inappropriate conduct at a daycare linked to her family.

The agency has launched a full-scale investigation following viral social media posts that reignited debates around the artiste, with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency also calling for preliminary inquiries into the matter.

The development comes after resurfaced tweets from between 2012 and 2014 drew widespread attention.

Trouble began when Simi used social media to condemn s3xual violence and defend rape victims, stating that almost every woman she knows has experienced sexual assault and urging men to confront a culture of silence and denial. She stressed that allegations should not be dismissed simply because some may turn out false.

As her advocacy gained traction, some social media users unearthed older posts. In one tweet, she wrote, “Why this 4 yr old boy tryna put hand inside my shet. Ogbeni wash it o.” In another, she said, “I love to kiss the kids at my mom’s daycare — they’re super adorable and I’m crazy about ‘em.” The posts prompted outrage, with critics accusing her of hypocrisy, though supporters argued her advocacy remains genuine.

Rather than issue an outright apology, Simi has maintained that her stance against s3xual assault is sincere and not performative. She revealed that members of her team deleted some of the old tweets due to their sensitivity, particularly as they involved her family. She emphasised that while she does not claim to be perfect, she has always spoken out against sexual violence.

The Lagos State Domestic and S3xual Violence Agency (DSVA) has also weighed in, requesting the Ogun State Government conduct a preliminary investigation into the allegations linked to the resurfaced tweets. In parallel, NAPTIP’s Director General, Binta Adamu Bello, directed operatives to commence a full-scale investigation into possible child molestation or abuse at the daycare facility associated with Simi’s family. The agency encouraged anyone with credible information or evidence to come forward confidentially.

Questions are now being asked about how the singer is currently handling the controversy, particularly as she has remained absent from social media for over a week.

Fans and observers alike have noted her silence, with speculation growing about whether she is stepping back to reflect, consult with legal or PR advisers, or manage the situation privately.

Social media reactions remain divided. Some users continue to criticise her, claiming she should have been more cautious with past statements and interactions, while others defend her, asserting that the tweets are being misinterpreted and praising her for speaking out against sexual violence.

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
