Afrobeats singer, Davido has shared how the tragic loss of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, in 2022 completely changed his outlook on life.
You will recall that Ifeanyi tragically drowned in a swimming pool at the singer’s Banana Island home in Lagos in October that year — a moment that shook fans across the world.
Speaking in a recent interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, the 32-year-old dad of twins revealed that the experience gave him a new perspective on life and his career, allowing him to refocus on his goals.
He also expressed pride in how he and his wife, Chioma, handled the tragedy and bounced back.
According to the entertainer, their strength during the 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.
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 and Chioma have moved forward, and their resilience is evident in their current life, including raising their twins born after Ifeanyi’s passing.
