"Who's Temporary Now?" – Influencer Simisanya Fires Back with Engagement Photos After Harsh Relationship Doubt Goes Viral

In a digital world where opinions fly faster than facts, influencer Simisanya has served the internet a piping hot plate of poetic justice—and this time, it came wrapped in white roses, sparkling diamonds, and a picturesque engagement shoot that’s breaking the internet. Two years ago, she was the subject of a viral tweet dripping with doubt and disdain. Today, she is the one having the last laugh.

It was back in 2023 when a Twitter user known as @edna_reese took it upon herself to forecast doom over Simisanya’s relationship with her then-boyfriend, Femi. With an air of unwarranted authority and a sprinkle of unsolicited gossip, Edna tweeted: “@simisanya I hope you know this is temporary, Folake his ex that was in Ibadan got more than this until the real Femi came out. Ask his close pals when he was in Unilag or his photographer close friend Rasaq known as Perliks what Femi is like when he is about to serve u hot.”

The tweet, posted at 1:50 on June 10, 2023, racked up a staggering 4.9 million views, and in typical social media fashion, the judgment was swift and merciless. Comments poured in, many in agreement, others enjoying the drama, and a few defending Simisanya, who simply replied at the time with a calm, cryptic “Hi there.”

Fast forward to July 2025, and the same internet that once buzzed with doubt is now ringing with cheers. Simisanya, or “SimiSoFineSoFly” as she’s fondly known on X (formerly Twitter), dropped a carousel of engagement photos that look straight out of a bridal magazine. Clad in an elegant cream dress, a gleaming engagement ring catching the golden hour sunlight, and her beaming fiancé Femi by her side, the images said it all—love had won.

“Hi there 😊” she captioned the post, echoing her understated clapback from two years ago, but this time with a gleam of triumph only the truly vindicated can understand.

The internet did what it does best—explode. Within hours, the post had accumulated over 6 million views, and thousands of comments flooded in, many referencing the infamous 2023 tweet. Screenshots of Edna’s original post were resurrected and stitched beside the engagement photos like a digital courtroom exhibit. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone.

“Plot twist of the decade 😂,” one user commented.

“Simisanya pulled a Beyoncé on her haters,” wrote another.

“@edna_reese you still around? Come and see something!” a third chimed in.

The engagement itself appeared to be a lavish affair. Close friends of the couple shared behind-the-scenes clips showing a romantic setup complete with rose petals, violinists, and a skyline view of Lagos. Femi, the once-maligned boyfriend, gave a heartfelt proposal speech, ending with, “They didn’t think we’d make it, but you were always my forever.” The moment left not just Simi in tears, but thousands of followers celebrating what felt like a victory for every woman who has ever been doubted in love.

Sources close to the influencer reveal that the relationship has weathered more storms than the public knows. “There were moments when the hate got to her,” said a close friend who preferred to remain anonymous. “That tweet haunted her for a long time, but instead of clapping back then, she focused on her man and her journey. This engagement is more than just a ring. It’s proof.”

What makes this story even more compelling is how Simisanya handled the situation with quiet dignity and class. While others might have replied with anger or even tried to expose Edna in return, she let time—and love—do the talking. Her minimal response then and now, just a simple “Hi there,” has now become a trending phrase and meme, used by fans to celebrate personal wins over negativity.

Meanwhile, the original poster, @edna_reese, has not publicly commented on the engagement. Her account, once active and often controversial, has gone eerily quiet since the engagement photos went viral. Whether she’s choosing to stay silent or has deactivated out of embarrassment, no one knows. But in the court of public opinion, her prophecy has crumbled in full view.

Simisanya’s rise from viral ridicule to viral celebration is not just a relationship win—it’s a cultural moment. It highlights the toxicity of online predictions, the often misogynistic tendency to doubt women’s happiness, and the timeless power of keeping your peace until it’s time to shine.

The story also reminds us of something crucial: social media is fleeting, but real love and resilience aren’t. In a world where everyone thinks they know your story, sometimes the best response is to live well—and post the photos.

As Simisanya begins her journey toward the altar, her fans—now affectionately calling themselves “Team Hi There”—are rooting for her louder than ever. Wedding hashtags are already in circulation, with #HiThereWedding and #FemiAndSimiForever trending across platforms.

From “temporary” to timeless, Simisanya has rewritten her narrative and silenced the noise in the most graceful way possible. And as her engagement post continues to light up feeds across the country, one can only wonder how many other love stories are blossoming quietly, just waiting for the right moment to say, “Hi there.”
