“It Doesn’t Even Mean Anything”: Simi Asks Fans to Stop Calling Her Daughter Adejare ‘Duduke’ Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, addressed fans during an interview with VJ Adams, asking them to stop referring to her daughter, Adejare, as “Duduke.” The nickname emerged from Simi’s 2020 hit song “Duduke,” released while she was pregnant with Adejare, born in June 2020 to Simi and her husband, Adekunle Gold. Simi clarified that “Duduke” is not a name but an onomatopoeic representation of her heartbeat, symbolizing her love for her unborn child, and holds no deeper meaning. While acknowledging the affectionate intent behind the nickname, she stated, “Stop calling my child Duduke… it’s just a beat.” #softnigeria
