Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again honored the memory of his late son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, with a touching tribute. On Tuesday, the singer took to 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “Ifeanyi David Adedeji Adeleke RIP LEGEND !!”
Ifeanyi tragically passed away on October 31, 2022, after drowning in a swimming pool at the family’s residence in Banana Island, Lagos. The heartbreaking incident happened just days after he celebrated his third birthday on October 20.
Following the tragedy, the Lagos State Police confirmed that an autopsy revealed drowning as the cause of death. Authorities questioned eight domestic workers in connection with the incident. Six were released, while two remained in custody for further investigation.
The loss deeply affected Davido, prompting him to step away from the spotlight for a period. In 2023, he returned with a new album, Timeless, but explained that he chose not to include a tribute to Ifeanyi on the project to preserve its upbeat tone.
Marking the one-year anniversary of his son’s passing in October 2023, Davido shared a simple dove emoji on social media another quiet but powerful gesture of remembrance.
Since then, Davido and his wife Chioma have welcomed twins, who were born in the United States in 2023. The couple continues to move forward while cherishing the memory of their late son.
Davido’s heartfelt tribute serves as a reminder of the deep love he holds for Ifeanyi and the enduring impact of his short but meaningful life.
