In a recent interview with Omega, Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, bravely shared his ongoing struggle with grief following the tragic passing of his son, Ifeanyi.

It may be recalled that the young boy tragically drowned at Davido’s Banana Island mansion in October 2022, leaving the musician and his family devastated.

David expressed that the memory of his late Ifeanyi continues to bring tears to his eyes every morning, highlighting the profound impact the loss has had on him.

During the interview, he said many anticipated that his latest album, ‘Timeless,’ would reflect the sorrow he feels, but the artist chose to focus on creating upbeat and energetic tracks 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.”

The musician emphasized that his primary duty is to be strong for the mother of his late son, as he recognizes the profound loss she experienced.

Additionally, Davido expresses the belief that his son, Ifeanyi, and his late mother, Mrs. Veronica Adeleke, are watching over him from heaven and even envision them joyfully dancing to his music.

The pains of losing a child will always be there aching

May God grant you the fortitude to bear the loss.
May God compensate you.

So bad
