I still cry every time I think of my son, Ifeanyi’s death – Davido.
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adedeji Adeleke OON, who is professionally known as Davido, has broken silence on the death of his son Ifeanyi Adeleke during a podcast interview.
The singer talked about how, despite the incident, he was still able to release the “Timeless” album and disclosed that he still mourns the loss of his late son, Ifeanyi, who passed away last year.
Many of his fans, according to him, expected depressing songs from his album, but he gave them “bangers” instead.
He said, “I miss him every day, there are tears coming out of my eyes every morning, you don’t have to see it.
“I look at myself in the mirror and I said apart from it just being about me, I know how many people love me, I know how many people are depending on me.
“My son up there is looking down at me. Apart from me being strong for his mom, which is my primary responsibility, I have to be strong for the world.
“A lot of people thought the album was just going to be a lot of sad songs, we gave them bangers on bangers.
My son is dancing and my mom is dancing in heaven. So for people to see that it’s possible to stand up again and be able to work, it’s only God.
“Those were one of the things that and my wife relied on, God is real. Then everything just aligned back, we performed better, business is better.”
Davido added that Ifeanyi and his late mother, Mrs Veronica Adeleke are dancing to his songs in heaven.
