Foremost Afrobeats singer, Davido has shared how the tragic loss of his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, in 2022 was a life-changing experience.
Ifeanyi drowned in a pool at Davido’s residence in Banana Island, Lagos State, in October of that year.
Speaking in a recent interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, Davido expressed pride in how he and his wife, Chioma, handled the tragedy and bounced back.
Davido revealed that the experience gave him a new perspective on life and his career, allowing him to refocus on his goals.
He also shared that their strength during this difficult time has become a source of inspiration for many, stating that people have approached him on several occasions to thank him for inspiring them to stay strong during 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 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.
Davido and Chioma have moved forward, and their resilience is evident in their current life, including raising their twins born after Ifeanyi’s demise.
