Nigerian singer and songwriter Simi has achieved a remarkable international milestone as her hit single “Duduke” earns a gold certification in New Zealand after selling over 15,000 units.
Originally released in 2022, the soulful track captured hearts worldwide with its emotive lyrics and captivating melody. The accompanying music video, which famously showcased Simi’s baby bump, celebrated motherhood and the anticipation of welcoming new life.
The song’s success also sparked the viral “Duduke Challenge,” with fans across the globe creating their own renditions and dance videos in tribute to the hit.
Interestingly, Simi’s daughter, Adejare, became fondly associated with the song, with many fans nicknaming her “Duduke.” Although the singer embraces the sentiment, she has expressed her preference for fans to address her daughter by her real name.
With “Duduke” continuing to resonate years after its release, the gold certification marks yet another proud moment in Simi’s flourishing career.
