Nigerian music star, David Adeleke, famously called Davido, has disclosed that his late son, Ifeanyi, has a younger brother.

Davido made this known in an interview with YouTuber, Anas Bukhash.

While the interviewer was talking about his daughters, Davido interrupted and said, “I’ve a son too. Like, Ifeanyi has a little brother.”

When quizzed further about the name of the boy, he called him Dawson.

Recall, Davido lost his older son, Ifeanyi, after the latter drowned in a swimming pool in his father’s residence in Banana Island, Lagos, in October 2022.

The famously called ‘OBO’ had revealed that he regrets deeply about his son’s death.

He said, “I miss him every day. There are tears coming out of my eyes every morning. You don’t have to see it.”

Davido added that he once sold his billionaire father’s television sets, and almost sold his Rolls Royce car in Atlanta.

The ‘Unavailable’ crooner who is well-known for his style of giving out money to his fans, mentioned that if his dad gives him a million dollars then, he could reciprocate by giving everything out before 9pm of the same day.

Being the last of five children, he stressed that he used to follow his older siblings to night clubs at the age of 15.

Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has said that he does not think the 2023 general election was credible.

The ‘Dami Duro’ crooner said this in an interview with Beat 99.9FM, Lagos, on Friday.

Davido, who was off social media for a while after the death of his son, Ifeanyi, said he would have been very vocal about the elections if he was online.

He said he was happy about the low turnout of voters, adding that the safety of voters was important.

He said, “I’m happy that people were not really coming out. You know if I was online, I would have been really vocal about it (the election). I have always been vocal about it.

“But, I mean, I was happy about it. That’s just being honest. It’s what it is! But I personally don’t feel like that was really a credible election. You know what I’m saying? I feel like the most important thing is the safety of life of everybody. But in all, that wasn’t it. So, I don’t think I will be able to hide that. I can’t hide that,” Davido added.

the Afrobeat star dropped his much-awaited album, ‘Timeless,’ on Friday.

The music star took to his social media page in the early hours of Friday to announce the release of the 17-track project to his numerous fans.

“At long last – We are back. The journey from my last album to this album has been a whirlwind to say the least,” Davido wrote on Twitter announcing the album.

Davido’s ‘Timeless’ got one million streams in six hours after it dropped.
