“It’s like he came back” – Davido on son’s resemblance to late Ifeanyi Adeleke

In a deeply emotional revelation, Davido has opened up about the eerie resemblance between his Twin son and his late son, Ifeanyi.

Speaking on Apple Music 1 with Ebro Darden, the singer described the similarity as “scary,” noting how the loss of Ifeanyi in 2022 was one of the darkest moments of his life. 

“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,” he shared.

After the tragic drowning of Ifeanyi in November 2022, Davido and Chioma went through a quiet period, secretly tying the knot. Nearly a year later, they welcomed a set of twins in October 2023. 

“And the boy looks just like my son that passed. It is scary. It’s like literally him. We’re like, ‘No, it’s him. He came back,’” Davido said.

Now a father again, he reflected on how the pain shaped him: “To come back from that and be blessed with twins out the gate… it just shows God is real.”

The experience, he says, has changed how he shows up for others: more empathetic, more grounded, and more inspired to be a light through music and life.
