Singer Simi wants people to stop calling her daughter Duduke. The music star released a popular song with that title before her child was born during 2020. Fans began using the song name when talking about baby Adejare after her birth. Simi told VJ Adams that she dislikes the nickname because it has no real meaning. The word came from sounds she made to show how her heart beats like a drum.

Simi and husband Adekunle Gold welcomed daughter Adejare during June 2020. The couple chose a meaningful name for their first child together. Many supporters started using Duduke as a pet name after hearing the hit song. Simi explained that the sound represents heartbeats rather than actual words. She prefers when people use her daughter's proper name instead of the song reference.

The artist understands that fans mean well when they use the nickname. She tries not to react strongly because people show love through the connection. Simi still asks everyone to respect her wishes about her daughter's identity. The singer wants clear separation between her music and family life. She hopes supporters will call Adejare by her real name moving forward.
