Linda Ikeji Clarifies Son’s Surname Amid Social Media Buzz

Media personality, Linda Ikeji has finally addressed the controversy surrounding her son Jayce’s surname.
The controversy erupted on Tuesday when the blogger shared an innocent vacation post featuring her six-year-old son and his cousin Ryan, sparking a heated debate among fans.

The blogger intended for a sweet post and caption about the kids’ vacation, but fans swiftly turned things around after they noticed in her caption that she referred to her son with her last name.

In a clarifying statement on her Instagram story, Linda revealed that her son has always carried her surname since birth, putting to rest speculation of a name change.

The blogger expressed disbelief at the notion that she would alter her son’s identity, emphasising that such decisions will be left to him when he comes of age.

Linda said she has not changed her son’s surname as he has always been an Ikeji from birth.

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”.
