Davido: Ifeanyi has younger brother

Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, well known as Davido, says his late son, Ifeanyi, has a younger brother.

Davido made the disclosure in a recent interview with YouTuber, Anas Bukhash.

Ifeanyi died on October 30, 2022, after drowning in a pool at the singer’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State.

While the interviewer was talking about his daughters, the Afrobeats singer said: “I have a son too. Like, Ifeanyi has a little brother.”

The famous musician recently said he cried every morning after the death of Ifeanyi, adding that he was able to release the ‘Timeless’ album in March 2023 despite the demise of his son.

Davido said: “I miss him every day; there’s 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.

“A lot of people thought the album was just going to be a lot of sad songs, we gave them bangers on bangers.

“My son is dancing and my mom is dancing in heaven. So for people to see that it’s possible to stand up again and be able to work, it’s only God.

“Those were one of the things that and my wife relied on, God is real. Then everything just aligned back, we performed better, business is better.”
