Veronica Imade Adeleke who was a university lecturer at Babcock University in Osun State died on the 6th of March 2003.
She loved music, just like her son and in the 90s, she had a brilliant music career and was owner of a record label. She was also part of a band named “David’s Band.” This was not the only thing she named after her son. She also owned a security company called “David’s Security”. You could tell that Davido was the apple of her eye.
Davido still remembers his mother very fondly and has only the best memories of her. He often uploads her old photos and shares the most heartfelt moments with her that he remembers. His daughters are named, Aurora Imade and Hailey Veronica, after her.
