Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, says he and his wife, Chioma Rowland didn’t deserve the death of their three-year-old son, Ifeanyi.
Ifeanyi died in October 2022 after drowning in a pool at the singer’s house.
Davido said the support he got from people across the world helped him to overcome the pain of losing his son.
The Afrobeat star, who recently released his fourth album ‘Timeless’, said this in a recent interview with CNN.
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.”
Speaking on his new album, Davido said: “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,” he stated.
