Nigerian Afrobeat star Davido has opened up about his experience of welcoming twins with his wife Chioma Rowland a year after the tragic death of their three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
Speaking at a conference in New York, Davido said that he and his wife were shocked when they found out they were having twins, especially since it was happening in the same month that they had lost Ifeanyi.
“When me and my wife found out, we were shaking and it was in the same month. My son passed last year October, my wife gave birth this year October so it’s crazy,” Davido said.
Despite the pain and loss they had experienced, Davido said that he was still able to keep his faith and continue doing what he loved to do.
“A lot of people that those things happen to – you would never want to believe in God ever in your life. But to still have faith, to still be able to do what I love, having a great team around me and just focusing… I’m almost at the finish line and that’s something that I want people to see,” he said.
Davido and Chioma welcomed their twins, a boy and a girl, in the United States in October 2023.
We wish Davido and his family all the best during this time.
