“Stop Calling My Child Duduke, I Don’t Like it ” – Simi Tells Fans
Nigerian singer Simi has politely asked fans to stop referring to her daughter, Adejare, as “Duduke”. The nickname came after Simi released her emotional hit song Duduke in 2020, which she dedicated to her unborn child. When she and her husband Adekunle Gold welcomed their baby girl in June of that year, many fans started using the song title as a nickname for the child.
However, during a recent chat with VJ Adams, Simi shared that the name doesn’t sit well with her. She explained that Duduke wasn’t a real word—it was just a sound meant to mimic the rhythm of a heartbeat, capturing how her baby made her feel at the time.
“People call my daughter Duduke, which I don’t like,” she said with a laugh. “That’s not her name, and it doesn’t even mean anything. If it had a positive meaning, maybe I’d be okay with it. But it’s literally just a sound—du-du-ke, like my heart beating.” Despite her feelings, she understands the love behind it. “I know it’s coming from a good place, so I try not to react,” she added.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
Nigerian actor Bovi has spoken about marriage and divorce, sharing his thoughts on the subject.
The actor revealed during a recent interview that not all divorces should be seen as failures.
He explained that sometimes a marriage gets to a point where one or both partners can no longer breathe comfortably in the relationship, which could eventually lead to divorce.
“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage.”
