Nigerian singer and songwriter Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as SIMI, has urged fans to stop referring to her daughter, will dress, as “Duduke”.
In a recent conversation with the personality of the VJ Adams, Simi clarified that Duduke was simply the title of a song that she launched in 2020 while waiting for her first child with her husband, her companion star of the Adekunle Gold music.
After the birth of his daughter in May 2020, many fans began calling the child “Duduke”, inspired by the successful song. However, Simi expressed discomfort with nickname, emphasizing that he never intended to be the name of his daughter.
“People call my daughter Duduke, I don't like it. That is not his name. It doesn't even mean anything,” he said. “If I had meant something good, I would have allowed it. But it's just a rhythm, Duduke, Duduke. That was what I meant, my heart beats like a drum.”
While acknowledging that fans have good intentions, Simi urged them to respect their daughter's real name, I will dress.
“Stop calling my son Duduke. But do you know what? I understand, it comes from a good place, so I try not to react,” he added.
Simi and Adekunle Gold recently marked their sixth wedding anniversary and have continued to maintain their relatively private family life despite their fame.
