This is the funniest thing Iā€™ve seen all day

Scratch that ā€“ this is hands down the funniest thing Iā€™ve seen all week. Thank God for the internet man!

I was jejely scrolling through Twitter today and stumbled upon a very old music video by Nigerian superstar singer, Simi.

Simi now is a renowned singer-songwriter famous for hit songs like ā€œDudukeā€, ā€œJamb Questionā€, ā€œSmile for Meā€, and more.

But as at the time of her recording this video Iā€™m about to show you, she wasnā€™t the Simi of today ā€“ she was just an up and coming singer trying to make it and oh my god is it a funny video!

Are you ready to see it? Then letā€™s go!

The Video

Shoutout to Pulse Nigeria and their team for finding this video, could you imagine we never got to witness this gem?

Watching it again and I am still crying!! What did Simi really think she was doing? Was that one break dance abi what was she supposed to be going for? Also, abeg did you see that rapperā€™s trouser. Like, what is really going on here?

Her voice too! šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤£ This is the funniest thing Iā€™ve seen this week. By far, hands down the funniest thing Iā€™ve seen this week. And Iā€™m not alone in my thoughts.

The Responses

Nigerians from all over the world saw the video as well and of course had to send in their reactions.

One user aptly asked:

Wetin she dey dance abeg šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£

Another user saw it as an assurance of faith saying:

if this was simi? Then mke u just calm down.. We go blow.

Yet another user said:

This was when 9ja musicians thinks they can over take Americans, look at simi forming Beyonce, Lmao Rolling on the floor laughing. Thank God you later discover the right way @SympLySimi

Finally, one other Twitter user said:

Life without money no too make sense

As funny as all these are, it is too true though! Money has definitely touched Simiā€™s hand now and her vocal production, dance skills, and video skills can never be on this level again. But it is at least a testament to the amount of hard work that she put into her work before becoming the Simi that we all know and love today.

Simi's Response

Simi herself of course couldnā€™t be left out of all the fun and so after seeing the responses to and the original tweet with the video from Pulse Nigeriaā€™s Twitter page, she quoted their video and said:

Atink you're happy now? I don't know this person šŸ˜‚

Fantastic and funny response šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤£

After, she took the time to celebrate her artistic growth over the years as well as promote the new project that she just released saying:

I've put my heart and soul in this music journey, I've had many highs and I couldn't have done it without your support. #RestlessII is another chance to share my heart with you through my art...and I hope I'm not letting you down

Simiā€™s full RestlessII EP is out now and I can tell you confidently and for free, she did not let us down.

Iā€™m so happy for this throwback video though. Catch me watching this on loop over and over for the rest of today!

That's All.
