Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, known professionally as Davido, revealed that his Afrobeats colleague Ayodeji Balogun—better known as Wizkid—has been calling him every week since the tragic death of his son, Ifeanyi. Davido shared this in an interview on the Morning Show on Hot 97 FM in New York, which was posted on Saturday. He explained that he and Wizkid had been estranged for 12 years, but their relationship began to improve after the loss of his child.
During the interview, Davido said, “With Wiz, over the years we had a rift; for 12 years we had a rift up until recently he chatted up and I am seeing the positivity. I am seeing the change in the industry a little bit because everybody is calming down, especially with my situation; the tragic situation that happened, he called me every week since it happened.”
The heartbreaking incident occurred in November 2022, when Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland lost their only son, Ifeanyi, shortly after his third birthday. The boy drowned in a pool at Davido’s home on Banana Island, was rushed to a hospital in Lekki, and was pronounced dead.
