For the first time, well-known musician Davido Adeleke, also known as Davido, has spoken out about the sad passing of his son Ifeanyi.
Davido, who just recently made a comeback to music and social media in general, praised his loved ones and said that his success was only possible thanks to their unwavering support.
He acknowledged that the tragic passing of his son had some bearing on the “Timeless” endeavour in an interview with CNN.
The 30-year-old said to CNN:
“Before my son passed, we had finished the album. But it was a tragic situation and I really had to calm myself down and take a step back.
Nobody would want that, and everybody knows that I and Chioma didn’t deserve that. At some point I couldn’t open my Instagram for weeks.
One day, I just checked it and I saw messages from every kind of person in the world. I was like ‘you’re fine, you see everybody is rooting for you.’ That was one thing that really made me strong enough to stand up again, get back in the studio and do what I love.”
