It’s a big flex, isn’t it, when you get to have a singer as your parent. Besides the spotlight and attention, you find yourself making an onscreen debut in your famous parents’ songs or music videos.
And when you’re a star in the music industry, you pretty much call the shots, like featuring your lovely kids in your songs or giving them special moments in your music videos. Sometimes, even before they come into the world, you sing them a special song to announce their arrival, just as Simi did with “Duduke.”
Below are some Nigerian singers featuring their adorable kids in songs and music videos:
Simi
In a heartwarming collaboration, sensational singer Simi features her 2-year-old daughter Deja on “Easy,” and in “Happy Birthday” with Adekunle Gold.
