Nigerian singer-songwriter Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has captured the attention of fans across Nigeria with a humorous and heartfelt moment from a recent interview. The artist addressed the widespread tendency among Nigerians to refer to her five-year-old daughter, Adejare, affectionately called Deja, by the nickname "Duduke." With her characteristic wit, Simi expressed her discomfort with the moniker, explaining that "Duduke" lacks any specific meaning. She clarified that the term, derived from her 2020 hit song, is merely an onomatopoeic representation of a drum’s rhythmic beat, not a name she wishes to associate with her daughter.
The song Duduke holds special significance for Simi and her fans, as it marked a deeply personal milestone: the public announcement of her pregnancy and the celebration of Deja’s birth in 2020. The track’s soulful melody and emotional lyrics resonated widely, cementing its place as a beloved anthem in Nigeria. However, Simi’s lighthearted plea to retire the nickname has sparked a wave of amusement online, with fans sharing memes and playful comments about the mix-up. The interview has not only highlighted Simi’s candid and relatable personality but also reignited affection for her music and her journey as a mother, keeping the conversation lively across Nigerian social media.
