Nigerian singer and songwriter Simi has marked her 38th birthday with a reflective message of gratitude, faith, and celebration, alongside new photos shared with fans.

The award-winning artiste noted that she is someone who consistently celebrates her birthday, describing the past year as “big, long, heavy, and blessed,” while expressing appreciation to God for sustaining her through it all.

In her post, Simi emphasized her spiritual gratitude and personal growth, stating that despite life’s challenges, she remains thankful for love, family, and divine protection.

“38. One thing about me – I’m gonna celebrate my birthday,” she wrote. “It’s been a pretty big, long, heavy, blessed year… Still, God don’t play about me. Still, the people I love love me. Still, I’m a child of God…”

She added a light-hearted note, joking that if she does not “turn up” for her birthday celebrations, people should “call the police,” a comment that resonated with fans who are familiar with her playful online personality.

Simi, also known by her affectionate nicknames “Omo Shola” and “Omo Charlie Champagne,” concluded her message with gratitude and renewed faith, reaffirming her identity as a child of God.

Her husband, fellow musician Adekunle Gold, has previously celebrated her publicly, often reflecting on their relationship and expressing appreciation for her role in his life and career.

The birthday celebration comes shortly after the couple announced the arrival of their second child, a milestone Simi recently shared with maternity photos and a message of gratitude for her growing family.

Over the years, Simi has remained one of Nigeria’s most loved music voices, balancing her artistry with family life while frequently sharing personal reflections on growth, faith, and gratitude with her audience.
