Simisola Ogunleye, Nigerian Afropop vocalist, better known as Simi has described entertainers/celebrities as “ordinary.”
While Simi never established a connection as to who her comment is addressed to, the singer said this in reaction to the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic in the entertainment industry.
Her comment comes in the wake of the unprecedented shutdown of the entertainment industry across the globe to curb the spread of the virus.
According to her, superstars seem more ordinary now since showbiz is less ”showy when tomorrow is standing on a cliff.”
Simi who stated that this might likely not be the end of the world; added that it should be the beginning of a reset of perspective, essence and mindset.
She tweeted:
Even your superstars seem more ordinary now. Lol. Showbiz is less showy when tomorrow is standing on a cliff. This should humble the fuck out of everyone
This is likely not the end of the world; but for those of us here to witness it, it should be the beginning of a reset of perspective, essence, mindset. Cos las las we ain’t shit. We’re just here to be the most that we can be while the universe allows it.
One second you have all these grand plans; the next, life is running circles around you. I feel like life is telling all of humanity, collectively “you ain’t shit.” Everybody’s priority is different now. Your goals are diff now. The point to life has shifted now. Fascinating!
When we get on the other side of this thing, I wonder if we will have learnt anything. Cos people forget.
