Nigerian singer and songwriter Simi has hit a major milestone with her hit single “Duduke”, which has been certified gold in New Zealand after selling 15,000 units.

Released in 2022, the song quickly captivated audiences with its catchy beat and heartfelt lyrics, resonating with fans both locally and internationally.

The accompanying music video, which featured Simi’s baby bump, celebrated the singer’s joy and anticipation as she awaited the birth of her daughter. The song’s widespread popularity also inspired the “Duduke Challenge,” where fans shared creative interpretations of the track.

Simi’s daughter, Adejare, has become affectionately associated with the song, with some fans referring to her as “Duduke.” While Simi appreciates the love, she prefers that her daughter be called by her actual name.
