Nigerian singer and songwriter Simi has added another milestone to her music career as her hit single “Duduke” receives a gold certification in New Zealand for selling 15,000 units. Released in 2022, the emotional song quickly became a global favorite for its soothing melody and heartfelt lyrics celebrating motherhood and love.
The accompanying music video, which featured Simi proudly displaying her baby bump, resonated deeply with fans and sparked the viral “Duduke Challenge”, where admirers recreated scenes inspired by the song. The challenge became a social media sensation, further cementing the track’s cultural impact.
Interestingly, fans have affectionately linked the song to Simi’s daughter, Adejare, often calling her “Duduke.” While the singer appreciates the sentiment, she has expressed her preference for her daughter to be addressed by her real name.
