“Everybody knows I and Chioma didn’t deserve that” – Davido opens up about the tragic death of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi

Davido, the Afrobeats superstar, has spoken out for the first time about the tragic death of his 3-year-old son Ifeanyi.

In an interview with CNN, the singer, who recently released a new album, says that his son’s death had an impact on the project.

“We finished the album before my son died.” But it was a tragic situation, and I needed to calm down and step back,” he explained.

The 30-year-old singer attributes his comeback to the overwhelming support he received from his family, friends, and fans.

“Nobody would want that,” Davido said, referring to the death of his son. “And everybody knows that I and Chioma didn’t deserve that.”

“At some point I couldn’t open my Instagram for weeks. One day, I just checked it and I saw messages from every kind of person in the world. I was like ‘you’re fine, you see everybody is rooting for you.’ That was one thing that really made me strong enough to stand up again, get back in the studio and do what I love.” He told CNN.
