Simi: My favorite celebrity
Simi is a female Nigerian Musician. Her songs and lifestyle distinguishes her from others. One thing I love most about her is her simplicity, she seems humble and isn't into the luxurious lifestyle that most musicians engage in. Her songs aren't the kind of gibberish engagement of words that most musicians do, they always have a message to pass. Some of her music that I love most are :
She has a good sense of dressing, which is modest and she is one of the few celebrities that's happily married. I give praise to her humility and morals. In her music she had aimed at promoting love and acceptance of our individual and tribal differences. Sometimes challenges the narrative. And she has the perfect voice when it comes to singing. The voice is the first thing that attracted me to her, then the songs which I later discovered to be meaningful and enjoyable at the same time.

I see her as a model to most females, an example to emulate. No scandals about her, and she chooses to stay low-key and only write on her social media handles when she feels the need to. There are a lot of things about her that make her unique and there's never a time that I have seen her sad. She's always happy and smiling. Even though I'm not a fan of celebrities, I've come to like Simi's personality

Thanks for the update. I had used Google and I thought copying the link directly from the writer's page was copyright free
Nope. Any image you use from the internet (other than the sources a) to c) cited below) is almost always not a free image. To be sure always use images from these sources:
a) a free stock image website like Unsplash, Pixabay, Pexels, Freepik, PurePNG, OpenVerse etc. There are many such websites. Look out for them and bookmark them.
b) Wikimedia Commons
c) Google Image Search>>Your Search Term>>Tools>>Usage Rights>>Creative Commons Images. Be careful with this though because Google does list "Not Free To Use" images here by error. Verify first by checking the license of the particular image you have chosen.
d) Commercial Stock Image websites.
