Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed a special lesson his father, Adedeji Adeleke, taught him.

During a podcast with RollingOut, Davido claimed that his father’s teachings about having faith in God are what keep him motivated in the face of challenges.

Speaking about his upbringing in a Christian home, Davido stated that he has been able to overcome difficult times because his dad taught him never to question God.

He pointed out the many challenges he faced and how he got angry and questioned why he found himself in such a situation.

According to him, a year later, after the death of his son, Ifeanyi, he welcomed twins and the biggest album of his career, along with his first Grammy nominations.

“My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.

“I overcame a lot of challenges because of my dad. Initially, I did not understand, but now I’ve come to the realization. I was angry. Sometimes, I was like, ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ And my dad told me that you can’t question God.

“I was like, ‘What do you mean you can’t question God?’ And then a year later [after the death of my son, Ifeanyi], we had twins, the biggest album of my career came, and my first Grammy nominations came. Then it started to make sense. People go through different challenges, but just know that God has your back,” he said.
