Talented Nigerian Afrobeat songstress, Simi Kosoko has stirred fresh controversy after advocating capital punishment for r@pists.
Nigeria is currently in a s*xual assault crisis with multiple r@pe allegations being reported in different parts of the country in recent weeks.
Reacting on Tuesday night, Simi passionately appealed to citizens and the authorities to put an end to s*xual ass@ult against women.
“I’m sickkk of this. Stop r@ping women. They need to castrate r@pists and burn them,” she wrote in a fierce X post.
However, her suggestion of a capital punishment for r@pists sparked a debate, with many arguing that the same should be given to false r@pe accusers.
Simi maintained that she was advocating for r@pe victims and not victims of false r@pe accusations, which further escalated the controversy.
Shunning the outrage from her male fans, the singer explained that she was advocating for r@pe victims because almost all the women she knew have been “s*xually assaulted at some points of their lives.”
She argued that it isn’t right to stop people from speaking against s*xual assault just because of false r@pe accusers.
“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 r@ping women,” she added.
Simi also urged men to hold their fellow men accountable, claiming that men creating the enabling environment for r@pists due to their failure to hold other accountable.
