 Social Media Critic Questions Lateef Adedimeji Over Arabic Names Given to His Triplets

A social media commentator has criticised Lateef Adedimeji for giving his newborn triplets Arabic names despite frequently promoting Yoruba culture through his movies.

In a viral TikTok video, the commentator identified as MS Baba expressed disappointment over the actor’s choice of names for his children, arguing that he should have chosen indigenous Yoruba names instead.

According to him, Lateef’s strong connection to Yoruba culture in his films should have influenced his decision when naming the triplets.

The commentator also advised the actor to consider changing the names, claiming the children might eventually do so themselves when they become older.

The actor recently welcomed the triplets with his wife, actress Mo Bimpe.

The children were officially named during a private Islamic ceremony held at their residence in Lagos in the presence of close family members and friends.

At the ceremony, the triplets were named Abdul Rahman Taiwo, Abdul Rahim Kehinde, and AbdulRoqeeb Idowu Adebare.

The video criticising the actor’s decision has since sparked mixed reactions across social media.
