Davido speaks on the death of his son Ifeanyi

Music star, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has opened up about the death of his child with Chioma, Ifeanyi.

The singer, in an interview with CNN African Voices, stated that himself and Chioma did not deserve to lose Ifeanyi.

He said the support he got from people helped him recover from the loss of Ifeanyi.

He said “One thing that has helped was the support from everybody. Everybody knows that Chioma and I didn’t deserve that. If anybody in the world kind of deserves it, it shouldn’t be us.

“Personally the support I got from people was one of the things that helped me stand up again. This has shown me that I was born to do music.

“I remember I couldn’t open my Instagram for like three weeks. One day, I just checked it and I saw messages from every kind of person in the world. From politicians to sportsmen. That was one thing that made me strong enough. Get back in the studio and do what I love.

“I had to calm myself down. Take a step back. This situation can break anybody. I don’t care how talented you are.

“We didn’t come to make this album because we were sad. Obviously, it was a tragic situation, but you know I still have to like be strong for everybody not only my wife, my family, my dad, and my son that is watching us.

“I know that at the end of the day, people would want David to be on stage again. Eventually, people would want me to make the thousands of people happy that I do on a daily. I had to calm myself down. Take a step back.”

On March 31, Davido released his latest album ‘Timeless’.

Davido announced the release of the 17-track album through his social media page.

He wrote “At long last – WE are back. The journey from my last album to this album has been a whirlwind to say the least,” he wrote.

“I recall sitting & staring over the ocean not too long ago, wondering if I could get here again, after all I’ve been through… but with your love & support, we made it.

“I’m not sure what comes after this but I wanted to give you my heart, soul and energy. Today I present you “TIMELESS”.

“So many people to thank who helped make this happen but first, I must send a special thank you to the strongest woman I know, @thechefchi!

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. And to all my supporters – I love you. Now, enjoy! I’ll see you all on road soon!’
