She disclosed that ‘Duduke’ was just an onomatopoeia she used in the song to express how her baby makes her heart beat.
“People call my daughter Duduke, which I don’t like. That’s not her name. It doesn’t even mean anything.
“Had it meant something good, I would have allowed it. But it’s just a beat, duduke, duduke. That was what I meant. My heart beats like a drum.
“Stop calling my child Duduke [laughs]. But you know what? I get it, it’s coming from a good place, so I try not to react,” Simi said.
