Nigerian songstress Simi has expressed disapproval over fans and members of the public calling her daughter, Adejare, ‘Duduke’.
Simi, while pregnant in 2020, released the hit single ‘Duduke’ in anticipation of the birth of her child with fellow artist Adekunle Gold.
As a result of the above, fans started calling their daughter ‘Duduke’ after the song when the celebrity couple welcomed her in June 2020.’
In a recent chat with VJ Adams, Simi was unequivocal about her dislike of the name her daughter was being called, saying it has no meaning.
She disclosed that ‘Duduke’ was just an onomatopoeia she used in the song to express how her baby makes her heart beat.
“People call my daughter Duduke, which I don’t like. That’s not her name. It doesn’t even mean anything.
“Had it meant something good, I would have allowed it. But it’s just a beat, duduke, duduke. That was what I meant. My heart beats like a drum.
“Stop calling my child Duduke [laughs]. But you know what? I get it, it’s coming from a good place, so I try not to react,” Simi said.
