It’s the biggest awards ceremony in Nollywood and probably the biggest in the African movie industry.
As such, the celebs who turned up should be in their best outfits – but that wouldn’t be going for singer, Simi.
ALSO: Take a look at the exclusive first photos from the 2017 AMVCA
Many fans were not too happy with the singer’s mini embellished dress which was designed by upcoming designer, Ilektra.
Meanwhile, Simi was feeling all the way up with her outfit ahead of the ceremony.

And for this reason, fans are bashing letting her know their feelings on Twitter.
But before we start, Simi supposedly blocked someone who had a negative comment on her dress.
Sigh, Simi blocked me. I am not even bashing her. I feel like she can do better, but she blocked me. Smh.

We actually found out who styled her for tonight
Btw who styled Simi?
Come out and don’t go into hiding. Do you think what you did was fair?

This Simi character needs to relax her chest. Your brand oftentimes sells your music. The way you dress contributes to your brand. Clean up

The verdict here’s as final as ever
Don’t get this “some girls dress worse than Simi ” talk going on. She wore rubbish, accept it and move on!

On a more serious note though, Simi should’ve known she wasn’t just going to see Adekunle Gold in his house ☺️
This is a red carpet event! pic.twitter.com/sDseU3Ko14

Simi doesn’t realize that she can be simple and still look nice. Out here looking like a house girl

This person would like to know
I’ve seen a number of people say simi wasn’t appropriately dressed, please what’s the appropriate dress code for a red carpet event??
— Y.O. (@yojora) March 4, 2017
Simi blocked this user too
All I did was ask Simi to fire her stylist before she talks about winning a grammy. Next thing she blocked me. Pot of beans life
— Patience (@luciouspeanut) March 4, 2017
Simi is not joking with anyone tonight. Just dey block dey go.

But then, Simi’s seen enough of the comments and this is what she had to say
Lol. If you take this energy and invest it in ur life sweetie, my needle and thread dress won’t bother you. And I mean well. Like you https://t.co/xdHnfMYKH2
— Simi (@SympLySimi) March 4, 2017
Funny how it’s women that enjoy bashing other women (with good intentions. Lol). If one is comfy n happy, y are u tighting it to ur chest?
— Simi (@SympLySimi) March 4, 2017
U don’t like my dress or hair. I’ve heard. I like it. I love it. I’m living my dream. Be happy for me. Cos tbh, I’m happy for me.
— Simi (@SympLySimi) March 4, 2017
And before u say I should ignore, I’m not upset. At all. I just hate to see ppl so worked up abt something that is not stopping my blessings
— Simi (@SympLySimi) March 4, 2017
Pray that my music breaks the norm and I become a better artist and win Grammies…cos I pray that you make it in life. All Love. All God
— Simi (@SympLySimi) March 4, 2017
And some of her fans are solidly behind her
Make una leave Simi for me o

I dunno about simi’s outfit but I love that hairstyle… Looks very good on her tbvh

What’s in a dress? What I’ve observed is that mst young Nigerians are very angry with life and so they vent it on anything or anybody. #simi
— The Prince (@titolavida) March 4, 2017
Simi is happy and flourishing, if what she’s wearing is hurting you, close your eyes.
— ♥ Ooohwahnah ♥ (@Ibibio_Woman) March 4, 2017
Ok. Simi does her music excellently well. Let us take that and be glad. The same way we don’t ask more of Adele other than her music.
— kingsakeewa (@kingsakeewa1) March 4, 2017
Everyone complaining about SIMI style of dressing. Well, if she really makes good music for he fans she should listen to her fans opinion.
