Nigerian media personality Linda Ikeji has refuted claims that she changed her six-year-old son Jayce’s surname.
The rumours surfaced on Tuesday after the blogger shared a vacation post featuring her son and his cousin Ryan, referring to her son with her last name. Following her post, some netizens speculated that she had changed her son’s surname from that of his father, Sholaye Jeremi, to hers.
Debunking the claims, Linda Ikeji clarified that her son’s surname has always been Ikeji and emphasized that the decision to change it will be left to him when he comes of age.
On her Instagram story, she wrote: “Just to be clear. I’ve never ever had to change my son’s surname. He’s been an Ikeji right from when he was born! Where do I have the time or patience to be changing names? Changing it and keeping his surname (Ikeji) will be up to him when he ages. Food for my Junior colleagues.”
