Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that the tragedy of losing his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, was life-changing.
Media recalls that Davido and his wife, Chioma, lost their three-year-old son, Ifeanyi, after he drowned in a pool at the singer’s residence in Banana Island, Lagos State, in October 2022.
Speaking in a recent interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, Davido stated that losing his son changed his perspective about life and his career.
He also said he was proud of how he and Chioma handled the loss and were able to bounce back.
The music star revealed that their strength has become a source of inspiration for many, recounting how people approached them on several occasions to appreciate them for inspiring them to be strong in hard times.
“Stepping away after losing my son and being able to look back on my career gave me a refocus on how I wanted to move going forward. It changed my life.
“I know how many who randomly come to me at the airport to tell me how my strength has inspired them in hard times. I was telling my wife the other day that I’m proud of how we bounced back. Now, we have twins. They are big and shouting everywhere. For us to be able to go through the loss of our son and be able to bounce back in a major way is huge,” Davido said.
