X3m music act Simi has revealed how she and her siblings were single-handedly raised by their mother.
The award-winning singer said her mother loved them unconditionally and got them the best things in life.
She said:
“She was so strong, she never make excuses like I don’t have this or that. She would do whatever to make sure we were okay. We weren’t hungry, we went to really good schools, so she went to the end of the world for us. My mum doesn’t know how to do tough love. When she loves, she loves completely, she loves like she can see you are the bad egg and yet she would love you like you are the best egg.”
Describing herself as a child, Simi noted that she was never a quiet person and was very stubborn.
She said: “I was stubborn as a child and I have never been quiet. However, I wasn’t stubborn because I wanted to, I was about pushing my ideas. If I had an idea in my head, I would like to follow through regardless of what everybody says or anything.”
