However, the mention did not sit well with his followers in the comments section. Many criticised him for naming another woman despite being in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend and the mother of his son, Sammie Heavens.

The two met and started dating in high school, a relationship that has lasted for over a decade.

They welcomed their first child together, Oliver, in 2023, and fans believe that she should have been named instead of Dua.
