Popular Nigerian singer Simisola Bolatito Kosoko popularly known as simi has disclosed why she left Nollywood after acting just one movie.
The hip hop star is one of the most influential female singers and is well known across the continent.
Besides from singing, she has also been on television as a recent judge on Nigerian Idol and has acted in one movie: the Kunle Afolanyan produced Mokalik.
During an interview, Simi narrates about her music, Nigerian Idol alongside motherhood, and the reasons she only appeared in a movie and that was all.
She said: “It has not been easy transitioning from being a baby girl herself to now being a mother alongside other responsibilities”
“It is not easy. But I think it’s just prioritizing and then committing to your priorities because the more important things you have in your life, the less time you have to dedicate to all those things. What’s important again is understanding that this is hard before you even go into it so it doesn’t overwhelm you too much. I love my family. I love my daughter, I love my husband, and I love music so much so it’s just finding that balance and committing to it”.
Pertaining to reasons why she acted in only one movie Mokalik and then left Nollywood, Simi said:
‘I’m not as crazy about acting as I am about music, to be honest, but it’s something that it’s exciting to do once in a while. People have mentioned it to me so maybe when I’m not (busy). I’ll try to do more”
DAILYGISTHUB recalls that Simi revealed her daughter says funny and wild things after she wakes up
According to Simi, her cute daughter, Deja always says random and wild things immediately after she opens her eyes.
She wrote on Twitter: “I need to do a series on the things Deja says right after she wakes up. Today it was “it’s a hexagon.” Lol. She always says something random immediately after she opens her eyes. It’s wild and I love it.”
