Nigerian social media users were thrilled to see David ‘Davido’ Adeleke speaking joyfully about his newborn children, particularly his twin son.
Many still remember the heartbreaking loss of Ifeanyi Adeleke, which made headlines in October 2022. The three-year-old tragically drowned in the swimming pool at his father’s Banana Island residence.
Ifeanyi’s passing left a deep scar — not only for Davido, his wife Chioma, and their family, but also for fans who had grown fond of the lively little boy.
Though the couple has since been blessed with a set of twins — a boy and a girl — the memory of Ifeanyi remains ever-present in their hearts.
In a recent interview, Davido was asked how he managed to navigate those dark times. He credited his family, saying their unwavering love and support carried him through.
The singer also shared that his new son bears a striking resemblance to Ifeanyi, a touching reminder of the son they lost.
He said: “We’ve got twins now; a boy and a girl… and the boy looks exactly like my son that passed. They act the same. Everything he used to do, he does,”
