Nigerian singer Simi has shared how her views on motherhood changed after having her daughter, Adejare
Speaking in an interview with The Roadshow on Cool FM, Simi revealed that she previously thought she would hire numerous nannies for her children.
However, she admitted that she has become a hands-on mother, only hiring nannies when necessary, specifically when she is working in Nigeria.
Simi noted that she doesn’t have nannies for her daughter when they are abroad.
She expressed surprise at how her actual experience as a mother differs from her initial expectations, saying she is more involved in childcare than she anticipated.
The conversation also touched on Simi’s exploration of new interests, including writing a novel and potentially working on a children’s project, highlighting her creative pursuits beyond music.
“I’m super hands-on. In fact, when we’re in the States, I don’t have any nannies, but here I have someone to watch her when I have to work because I’m busier here than there. That’s just not the kind of mum I ended up being.”
I was so certain back then that I was like, ‘I will have two nannies and those nannies will have a nanny and their nannies will have nannies too’. I shouldn’t have thought that, though, knowing me, I really shouldn’t have,” she stated.
“In the past few years, have you picked up new skills or hobbies that aren’t music?” the host asked, switching the topic.
“I’m trying to write a book, a novel. I used to say that if I wasn’t an artiste I would probably be a novelist. Maybe some romance. Some fantasy, some suspense. I also want to work on a children’s project; it’s an untapped market,” Simi said.
