Award-winning singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has opened up on the tragic loss of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
The singer, in a touching interview with CNN, broke down in tears as he spoke about his first son’s untimely death.
He revealed that grieving the loss of his son had some impact on his album.
According to him, he had finished the album before the tragic loss, which made him take a step back.
“Before my son passed, we had finished the album. But it was a tragic situation, and I had to calm myself down and take a step back”.
He stated that he and his wife, Chioma Rowland, didn’t deserve that.
“Nobody would want that. And everybody knows that Chioma and I didn’t deserve that”.
Speaking on his return, Davido credits it to the love he received from his fans, family, friends, and loved ones.
“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 made me strong enough to stand up again, get back in the studio, and do what I love”.
