Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, simply known as Simi, has warned against referring to her daughter, Adejare as “Duduke.”
The singer, in 2020, while anticipating the birth of her child released a song titled ‘Duduke’ which resonated with childbirth.
Over the years, the public, especially her pregnant fans have danced to the song in anticipation of their babies.
However, in a recent conversation, she kicked against calling her daughter Duduke, stating that it doesn’t have a known meaning.
According to her, ‘Duduke’ was just an onomatopoeia she used in the song to express how her baby makes her heart beat.
She said, “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.”
