Nigerian singer Simi has come under intense criticism on social media following the confession of a TikToker, Mirabel, who admitted that her widely circulated rape allegation was not true.

The online debate began on February 18 after a video surfaced on TikTok, in which Mirabel claimed she had been raped and injured with a blade inside her home.

The video spread rapidly and triggered outrage, emotional reactions, and heated conversations across the internet.

While many Nigerians initially believed her story and condemned the alleged act, others expressed doubts, pointing to inconsistencies in the video. Some users accused her of clout-chasing, further dividing public opinion.

Amid the controversy, Simi took to X to speak against rape culture. She urged men to hold other men accountable and questioned why people felt triggered when rapists were called out.

Her comments, however, sparked backlash from critics who accused her of ignoring the issue of false rape accusations.

The criticism deepened after an old tweet she made in 2016 was resurfaced and misinterpreted as sexual innuendo. As the backlash grew, a fake apology screenshot began circulating online as a meme mocking the singer.

She was also given the nickname “Ikorodu Celine Dion” by some social media users.

In her statement, Simi insisted that sexual violence against women remains widespread and that false claims should not be used to silence genuine victims.

“Almost every woman I know personally has been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives,” she wrote. “You can’t think it’s okay to shut people up from speaking up about assault because some people lie.”

She added that people who lie should face consequences but stressed that this was not the conversation she was having.

“How many of your male friends have they lied against? How many of your friends have actually assaulted women as vibes? Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either,” she said, ending with: “STOP RAPING WOMEN!!”

The situation later took a different turn after controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan disclosed that he had spoken with Mirabel over the phone.

According to him, Mirabel admitted during the conversation that the rape allegation was false. She also confessed that she created the fake TikTok account that had been sending her messages.

VeryDarkMan said Mirabel pleaded for help, describing herself as lost and helpless.

She further revealed that she is an 18-year-old orphan, a lesbian, and struggles with alcohol and codeine addiction. She also admitted to engaging in self-harm as a coping mechanism.

Appealing to Nigerians, VeryDarkMan urged the public to forgive her and avoid harsh judgment, stressing that mental health challenges are real.

He also disclosed that arrangements were being made to have Mirabel taken to a rehabilitation centre.

Meanwhile, it was revealed that the case has been transferred to Ogun State for further investigation.

The incident has continued to generate strong reactions online, reopening conversations around sexual violence, false allegations, accountability, and the mental health struggles behind viral social media cases.

Segun Akinlolu, popularly known as Beautiful Nubia, has publicly accused gospel musicians Yinka Ayefele and a new artiste identified as BBO of allegedly copying the melody of his original song, “Seven Lifes.”

Beautiful Nubia made the allegation in a post on X, formerly Twitter, where he claimed that Ayefele’s 2012 song, “My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti),” and BBO’s recent track, “Amin,” both drew their melodies from his work without permission.

“There was Yinka Ayefele with ‘My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)’ in 2012 and now someone called BBO with ‘Amin’ this year. Both stole their melodies from our original song ‘Seven Lifes’,” he wrote.

Questioning what he described as a recurring problem in the industry, the singer added, “When will Nigerians, especially the so-called gospel musicians, learn to respect copyright?”

The veteran musician, widely respected for his distinct sound and storytelling rooted in culture and social themes, raised concerns about copyright infringement and respect for original creativity within the gospel music space.

His remarks have since generated conversations among music lovers, reopening debates around intellectual property rights, originality, and ethical standards in Nigeria’s music industry.

Beautiful Nubia also urged fellow artistes to be more conscious of copyright laws and to ensure that their creative works do not infringe on the intellectual property of others.

As of the time of filing this report, neither Ayefele nor BBO has publicly responded to the allegations.

Finally addressing the five years controversy about her marriage on Wednesday, Meurer, in a new video on Instagram, denied ever having any relationship with Tonto Dikeh in the past.

Following her new claim, Meurer faced backlash for not being consistent.

Speaking amid the backlash, Meurer in a lengthy Instagram post, attributed the previous video, in which she described Churchill and Tonto as “family friends”, to pressure from her management.

While claiming that she was forced to lie, she said, “You want me to hang on to the nonsense old video I made in fear due to the fact that I was so young and innocent.

“I was dragged into violence by force. With all the pressure then, PR team will make you say many things even if you don’t feel it is right. Right now whatever I say is THE REAL TRUTH. I am now older and wiser. No PR team can force me to say what they believed is better than my truth. If you like, bring videos of 1000 years ago. It does not change my reality.”

“I was never my husband’s ex’s friend not to talk of best friend. I have never met her. I have never seen her, she doesn’t have my number, I don’t have her number, and she’s like 8 to 9, 10 years older than I am. And I have read comments that I was her best friend or she introduced me to her husband and I snatched him, but it’s not true. If anyone has the proof otherwise, I dare you to bring it out.

“I was never friends with anyone. I don’t even know her. I met my husband separately from that other life that he has”, she said
