'The support I got from everyone helped me stand up again' – Davido speaks on Ifeanyi's death

Singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has for the first time publicly spoken out about the sad death of his 3-year-old boy Ifeanyi.

Speaking in an interview with CNN, the singer said that the death of his son had some influence on his latest album.

On Friday, March 31, Davido released his fourth album titled 'Timeless', the 17 track features some international artistes.

He appreciated his wife, Chioma, his fans, followers and friends for their support.

“Before my son passed, we had finished the album. But it was a tragic situation and I really had to calm myself down and take a step back.
Nobody would want that 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 said.
