Davido’s First Son Ifeanyi dies At Age 3

Popular Nigerian Artist, Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland’s son ,Ifeanyi Adeleke is dead.

According to reports, Ifeanyi reportedly drowned in his father’s Banana Island home swimming pool and was rushed to Lagoon Hospital on Bourdillon road, Ikoyi, Lagos where he passed on, Monday night.

Before his rather sad and shocking death, Ifeanyi’s parents; Chioma and Davido had celebrated his third birthday in grand style.

Davido and Chioma’s loss is coming years after Nigerian singer Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj and wife Lineo Didi lost their first child after a drowning incident in 2018.

Daddy Freeze, who went live on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning said, “When the person you love is someone involved it becomes a heavy emotional burden. I am not confirming anything but bear with me I will not be live tonight.”

Lasisi Elenu also posted, “Father heal your children’s heart from this pain, strengthen them in such a dark and hurtful time oh Lord.”

Reality TV star and actress, Rosemary Afuwape, said on her Instagram story, “My heart can’t take this. This is so painfully unbearable. Chioma and Davido please accept my condolences. No amount of words can comfort your hearts. I am truly sorry for your loss.”

As of 1.28am, news of Ifeanyi’s rumored death was the most trending topic on Twitter.

The rumored death, however, emanated from a now deleted post from actress, Eniola Badmus, late Monday.

Nigerians, while reacting to Badmus’ post, criticised her for leaking such sensitive information to the public.

Ironically, his father (Davido) had been teaching him how to take dips in the pool in an attempt to create a father and son bond.

The music star was seen in videos trending on social media teaching his son how to swim.
