Popular singer, Simi has jumped on social media to share her experience as a woman in the music industry.

She recently aired her thoughts on Twitter, and her fans have been reacting.

According to her, the industry tries to pit you against other women and redefine your value as a female singer, which is why the artiste’s self-esteem is very key.

Simi added that the reason why she rolls with every woman winning in the industry is because her gender go through a lot.

Her words, “Tbh some of the things I’ve experienced – specifically as a woman – in this industry. Lol. They will try to pit you against other women. Try to redefine ur value. Try to get in your head and remodel your self esteem. And I have even had it easier than many.”

“Ati executive oh. Ati audience oh. It comes from all the sides. That’s why I f*ck with any woman that is winning in this industry – because hurdle is much dear. Women can hardly get away with the kinds of things many men in the same industry get away with on a regular.”
