Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has opened up about the life-altering experience of losing his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke. In a candid interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, the music icon revealed that the tragedy reshaped his perspective on life, career, and personal strength.
In October 2022, Davido and his wife, Chioma, faced the devastating loss of their three-year-old son, Ifeanyi, who drowned in a pool at their residence in Banana Island, Lagos State.
The incident sent shockwaves across Nigeria and beyond, with fans and well-wishers rallying around the grieving couple. The singer described the period as profoundly difficult, marking it as a turning point in both his personal and professional life.
Speaking to Rocsi Diaz, Davido explained that stepping away from his career following his son’s death allowed him to reassess his priorities.

The singer emphasized that the tragedy prompted a deep reflection, helping him identify what truly matters in life and inspiring him to approach his career with renewed purpose.
Davido also expressed pride in how he and Chioma managed the grief, highlighting their ability to support each other during such a challenging time. “I know how many who randomly come 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,” he said. Their resilience, he noted, has become a source of inspiration for countless people who have faced personal hardships.
The singer further shared that their family has grown since the tragedy, noting the joy of welcoming twins into their lives. “Now, we got twins.
They are big and shouting everywhere. For us to be able to go through the loss of our son and be able to bounce back in a major way is huge,” Davido said. This new chapter has helped the couple find healing and renewed hope, proving that life can continue even after unimaginable loss.
Beyond his personal reflections, Davido’s experience underscores a broader message about strength, perseverance, and the importance of mental health during times of grief. Many fans have reached out to him, expressing gratitude for his openness and the courage he displayed in navigating one of life’s most painful moments.
His transparency has allowed others to see that it is possible to endure tragedy while still embracing life’s opportunities.
Davido’s story is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the resilience of the human spirit. While the loss of Ifeanyi remains an indelible part of his journey, the singer continues to channel his experiences into his music, public appearances, and personal life, inspiring millions along the way.
From the depths of personal grief to the joys of welcoming new life, Davido’s journey illustrates the power of perseverance, love, and hope.
