Linda Ikeji breaks silence on son’s surname backlash

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.

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.”

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.
