- Davido shared his son’s loss in an interview with Apple Music.
Nigerian music star Davido has emotionally opened up about the striking resemblance between his newborn twin son and his late son, Ifeanyi, who tragically passed away in October 2022.
In a candid conversation on Apple Music, the Afrobeats icon reflected on the pain of losing his child and how becoming a father to twins helped him heal.
“Crazy. That type of loss made you just be like, “I’m out. I’m just going to chill, take care of my wife and take care of the family and get my head right. So just to come back from that and just… To be blessed with twins out the gate, a boy and a girl. And the boy looks just like my son that passed. It’s scary.” He said.
Despite the heartbreak, he said life surprised him with a blessing: the birth of twins — a boy and a girl. According to him, the resemblance between his late son and his new baby boy is nothing short of surreal.
“It’s like literally him. We’re like, “Nah, it’s him. He came back” Davido shared.
He also expressed gratitude for being able to find joy again, noting that his life had taken a turn for the better in the wake of the tragedy.
“But yeah, just to be able to come back from that and just be happy. And then we had the wedding and then the album went crazy. It’s like, “Yo,” it’s like, “God is real.” You know what I’m saying?” Davido shared.
Davido’s first son, Ifeanyi, sadly passed away at age four in a drowning accident in 2022. The loss had a profound impact on the singer, who took time away from the public eye before gradually returning to music and family life.
