Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke alias Davido has paid a heartfelt tribute to his late son Ifeanyi, several years after his tragic death.

The singer shared emotional memories, highlighting the lasting impact Ifeanyi has on his life and career.

He wrote on X, “Ifeanyi David Adedeji Adeleke RIP LEGEND!!”

This gesture comes nearly three years after Ifeanyi’s tragic passing.

Ifeanyi’s death occurred on October 31, 2022, when he drowned in the swimming pool at Davido’s Banana Island mansion in Lagos.

The incident happened just a few days after he celebrated his third birthday on October 20, 2022.

An autopsy later confirmed drowning as the cause of death, and an investigation was conducted, involving several domestic workers.

Following Ifeanyi’s passing, Davido took a break from the public eye but eventually returned to his music career, releasing the album “Timeless” in 2023.

Notably, Davido chose not to include a tribute to Ifeanyi in the album, opting to maintain a cheerful tone.

However, he did mark the one-year anniversary of Ifeanyi’s death with a dove emoji on social media.

However, Davido and his wife, Chioma, have welcomed twins born in the United States in 2023, bringing new joy to their family.
