Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about how the heartbreaking loss of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, in 2022 completely transformed his outlook on life.
Ifeanyi tragically drowned in a swimming pool at the singer’s Banana Island home in Lagos in October of that year — a moment that sent shockwaves through fans around the world.
In a recent interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, Davido revealed that the tragedy gave him a new perspective on both life and his music career. He explained that stepping away from the spotlight for a while allowed him to reflect and refocus.
“Stepping away after losing my son and being able to look back on my career gave me a refocus on how I wanted to move forward. It changed my life,” he said.
The singer also shared how he and his wife, Chioma, found the strength to keep going — a journey that has since inspired many.
“I know how many people randomly come up 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 bounce back in a major way is huge,” he added.
