Popular Nigerian singer Simi has encouraged men to be open
about their feelings.
According to her, she derives joy from seeing men embrace
their emotions.
Speaking in an interview on the 90’s Baby Show, the singer
confessed that she finds it beautiful when a man taps into his vulnerable side
instead of bottling his feelings up.
“I find it beautiful when men cry because I’m surrounded by
many men who feel they have to be macho or strong all the time.
“When you see men and women going through the same pain, the
man often says, ‘I have to be strong for my wife or kids.’ I think that’s okay,
but I don’t think strength means not being vulnerable or crying.
“I like it when men cry because it means that you feel safe
with who you are with, you can be vulnerable, and you can let go. I have seen
African men act like they are the warrior, protector, and provider. But if it’s
not coming out in your tears, it’s going inside your heart, and one day you are
just going to explode,” she explained.
