Nigerian creative singer Simisola Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi has explained the meaning of her new banging record ‘Duduke’.
This comes after the pregnant singer disclosed that a lot of people have been asking her to disclose true meaning of her latest single.
In her words: “duduke means, the beat of your heart or the beat of the drums you move your body, or the beat you sing a melody to – it’s whatever beat you want it to be – I know (you know) why I made this song, but I want you to make it your own. Enjoy yourself. No limits. That’s the beauty of true music.
“Also, we’re celebrating mums, mums to be, and the amazing women that are praying to be moms as well, as it will soon be Mother’s day. So like I said before – let us see ur towel bellies, your pot bellies, your flat bellies. I just want to see you dance and sing and whateve else.
“The singer who recently turned 32 with her debut studio album titled ‘Ogaju’ dropped in 2008, started off her career as a gospel artiste.”
In 2014, Simi signed a 5-year record deal with X3M Music. Her second album Simisola was released on September 8, 2017.
She is an expectant mother happily married to a Nigerian songwriter, Adekunle Gold.
The lovebirds — who tied the knot in January 2019 — marked their first wedding anniversary earlier this year.
