Popular Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji receives backlash online after changing her son's last name from her baby daddy's name to hers.
In a recent Instagram post, Linda Ikeji shared photos of her son Jayce with his cousin, the son of her immediate sister, Laura Ikeji on vacation in Paris. Linda expressed her son and nephew's close friendship, describing them as inseparable. Linda said she decided to bring them to Paris to visit Disneyland because they are huge Marvel fans.
While Linda Ikeji just shared a harmless, netizens had other plans as they dragged her in the comments, asking why she addressed her son as Jayce Ikeji. Linda Ikeji and her baby daddy Sholaye Jeremi are no longer together. There is not much information about what happened between them because Linda remained discreet about it.
@dr_alwayzrozy said, "Why would you give your son your own father's name, biko?
@foluke676 said, "Which one be Jayce Ikeji again? Na your Papa you born for ni?
@miryamdekor said, "Awww! Such a little bromance! For those asking. Linda Ikeji is a full-blooded Igbo woman. If she had her child as a spinster, the child belongs to her father and the Ikeji family. That's the culture. Jayce is an Ikeji."
