Davido, the Afrobeats artist, has spoken out for the first time about the untimely death of his 3-year-old son Ifeanyi.
In an interview with CNN, the musician, who recently released a new album, claims that his son’s death had an impact on the production.
“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,” he explained.
The 30-year-old musician attributes his return to music to the immense support he received from his family, friends, and fans.
“Nobody would want that,” Davido said, referring to the death of his son. “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 told CNN.
