Simi Unleashes Fury: ‘Castrate and Burn Rapists’ in Explosive Call to End Sexual Assault
Afrobeats sensation Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, has ignited a heated online storm by demanding extreme capital punishment for rapists amid Nigeria’s escalating sexual assault crisis.
With multiple rape allegations surfacing nationwide in recent weeks, Simi took to X on Tuesday night to voice her outrage, passionately pleading for action from citizens and authorities.
“I’m sickkk of this. Stop raping women. They need to castrate rapists and burn them,” she wrote in a fierce post.
Her call for castration and burning sparked immediate backlash, with critics arguing that false rape accusers should face similar harsh penalties. Undeterred, Simi clarified her focus on victims, escalating the debate.
She revealed a grim reality: nearly every woman she knows has faced sexual assault at some point. Dismissing calls to silence anti-rape advocacy over false accusations, Simi urged men to step up.
“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. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We’re not all crazy. Stop raping women,” she added.
Simi slammed the enabling culture, accusing men of failing to hold peers accountable and creating safe havens for predators.
The controversy highlights Nigeria’s urgent battle against gender-based violence, with Simi’s bold stance amplifying calls for justice and reform. Read More
