Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that his family has been his biggest support system through public controversies, personal struggles and grief.

Speaking in an interview with Vibe Q, the singer said his brothers, sisters and father have always stood by him during his toughest moments.

“My family has been the only one helping me through scandals & problems. My brothers & sisters and my father are always the first to call me when something bad happens”, he said.

The 30BG boss recalled how his family rallied around him after he lost his child. “When I lost my child they stayed with me till I was fine,” he said.

“They’re always happy seeing me perform because they know how broken I was when I lost my child,” he added.

Davido added that his family members understand the pain he went through and continue to check on him regularly.

“Even the days I don’t call them they always call in to check up on me. Family should not be played with,” he added.

The singer noted that having a strong family support system has helped him stay strong throughout his career despite facing public scrutiny and personal challenges.
