Simi Blows Hot Over Name Fans Call Her Daughter: “I Don’t Like It When They Call My Daughter Duduke”

• Singer Simi has granted an interview about her daughter and what people call her which she does not at all
• In a video making the rounds online, she noted that people call her daughter Duduke, but she does not like it
• As expected, fans were not happy about her utterance, they insisted that it is Duduke they will keep calling her daughter

Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, recently granted an interview where she spoke about her daughter, Deja.

The mother of one revealed that while her fans love calling her daughter “Duduke,” she personally does not like the nickname.

According to Simi, she understands that the name comes from a place of love, so she chooses not to overreact to what fans say.

However, she added that she feels uncomfortable hearing people call her daughter by that name since Deja already has her own name.

Simi explains the meaning of ‘Duduke’

Describing the meaning of “Duduke,” the “Joromi” crooner explained that it is simply the sound made by a drum.

She added that it does not carry any special meaning, which is why she prefers her daughter not to be identified by it.

Fans respond to Simi’s comments

Fans and lovers of Simi’s music were quick to respond, refusing to accept her dislike for the nickname.

Many reminded her that she was the one who introduced “Duduke” to the public, so they would continue to call her daughter by that name. Some even warned that she cannot dictate what they call her child.

It is worth recalling that singer Simi released the song “Duduke” a few years ago, and many assumed it was dedicated to her baby Deja after she was born.

Simi and her daughter share a close bond, often spotted in sweet videos sharing mother-and-daughter moments.

A few months ago, when Deja lost a tooth, Simi acted as the tooth fairy by sending her gifts.

Last year, the pair also made a banana cake together and shared the process with fans in an adorable video.
