Davido Honors Late Son Ifeanyi on His 7th Birthday

On October 20, 2026, Nigerian superstar Davido paid tribute to his late son Ifeanyi Adeleke on what would have been Ifeanyi's seventh birthday. Davido shared a personal message on his Instagram Stories and X account, emphasizing the enduring grief he and Ifeanyi's mother, Chioma Adeleke, carry since their son's tragic death.

Ifeanyi was born on October 20, 2019, and died on October 31, 2022, after drowning in a swimming pool at their home in Banana Island, Lagos. The official cause of death was confirmed as drowning following an autopsy.

Davido has consistently acknowledged significant dates related to his son since the tragedy. Chioma also marked the occasion by reposting a birthday tribute she had originally written for Ifeanyi in 2022, the day he turned three, but chose to lock the comment section, allowing her silent gesture to resonate with followers as a poignant reminder of their loss.
