- Well-known Nigerian media personality Linda Ikeji opened up about her only son taking her surname rather than his father's.
- Netizens had insinuated that she changed his surname after she made a post referring to her six-year-old son as Jayce Ikeji.,
Following backlash on Tuesday for giving her six-year-old
son, Jayce, her surname, Linda shared a photo of Jayce and his cousin, Ryan,
enjoying vacation.
However, fans took issue with the fact that she referred to
Jayce with her last name in the caption.
In an Instagram story, Linda clarified that Jayce has always
carried the Ikeji surname since birth.
She explained that she never had the intention nor the time
to change it, emphasizing that the decision to keep or alter his surname
will rest with Jayce when he is older.
Linda concluded by offering some advice to her “Junior
colleagues.”
“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”.
