Award-winning Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, widely known as Simi, has officially unveiled the name of her second child during a heartfelt dedication ceremony held on Sunday, August 9, 2026. The Afrobeats star shared intimate photos from the event on her Instagram page, giving fans a rare glimpse into the celebration that followed the church service.
The mother of two, who welcomed her baby boy with her husband Adekunle Gold on March 10, 2026, announced the birth publicly on April 1, 2026, through a series of maternity photos that expressed gratitude to God for the new addition to their family. Now, months later, she has chosen to reveal the child's full name: Adeifemi Oba Ajani Kosoko.
A Spiritual Dedication and a Name Revealed
In her Instagram post, Simi described Adeifemi as the son of both herself and Adekunle Gold, and the younger brother to their first child, Adejare. Her caption was deeply spiritual and tender, reflecting the significance of the occasion.
She wrote: "ADEIFEMI OBA AJANI KOSOKO Omo Simisola Omo Adekunle Aburo Adejare Jesus Baby Kaabo. We dedicated you in the name of the Father, The Son, And the Holy Spirit. You abide in the shelter of the Most High and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. I bless God for you. I speak life, joy, good health, peace into your body, your mind, your spirit, your soul. I commit you into the hands of Jesus Christ. God keep you and cause His face to shine on you. I love you Fresh Prince. My lil Champ. My lil Pop. My baby boy."
The singer's heartfelt words resonated with fans, who flooded the comments section with warm congratulatory messages and blessings for the newborn prince.

Fuji and Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold, Simi's husband, also joined in the celebration by leaving a sweet comment under her post.

The exchange between the couple further delighted fans, who have been following their journey closely since they tied the knot. The dedication ceremony also served as a public reaffirmation of their bond, especially in light of recent divorce rumors that had circulated online.

Simi and Adekunle Gold Reaffirm Love Amid Rumors
