Popular Nigerian singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, has opened up about his personal struggles with grief and how he manages the pain of losing loved ones.
Davido, who lost his mother, Mrs. Victoria Imade Adeleke, at the age of 11, has also endured the recent tragic loss of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, along with close associates such as Tagbo, DJ Olu, Obama DMW, and his personal photographer, Fortune.
In a recent interview with *Mystery Fashionist* in New York, Davido shared that his faith has been his anchor through these challenging times.
“I have lost a lot of people. I lost my mum at the age of eleven. I’m just being strong. I did a song called ‘Stand Strong.’ I feel like strength and obviously, my faith has kept me going,” he said.
The singer also took the opportunity to address misconceptions about his personality.
“Sometimes, people think I am not approachable. Another misconception is that people also think I am too accessible,” Davido noted. He added that growing up in a large family made him accustomed to always being surrounded by people, and that his talent and success are gifts from God.
