The Afro-pop star made this declaration on social media while responding to a direct public request from a media platform.
Simi Draws A Line
TSV Studios reached out to the “Duduke” crooner on X, expressing their desire to host her for a conversation about her musical journey. The outlet wrote, “Can we get an interview with you. We have so much fun stuff to discuss about your career.”
Simi wasted no time in shutting down the offer with a short, blunt response that left little room for negotiation. On January 8, 2026, the mother of three quoted the tweet and replied, “I don’t do interviews anymore lol.”
This statement immediately sparked reactions from fans who wondered if the decision was permanent or just a temporary break due to her personal schedule.
Family Priorities Over Media
Observers believe this new stance might be connected to her recent life changes. The singer has been busy with family duties, especially after reports surfaced that Adekunle Gold welcomes twins with Simi earlier this month.
Such a major addition to their household likely requires her full attention, leaving little time for press rounds or promotional chats. Simi has always been vocal about maintaining her privacy while balancing her career.
Public interest in the couple’s life has remained high since late last year when Adekunle Gold and Simi confirm second child rumours with a touching visual reveal.
It appears the songstress is now choosing to communicate with her fanbase directly through social media rather than through traditional media sit-downs.
