Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about his experiences with loss and how his faith has helped him cope.
In an interview with Mystery Fashionist in New York, Davido reflected on the tragic deaths of his mother, Mrs. Victoria Adeleke, when he was just 11 and his three-year old son, Ifeanyi.
He also honored the memories of close friends Tagbo, DJ Olu, Obama DMW and photographer, Fortune.
“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.
Davido also addressed common misconceptions about himself, highlighting the importance of family and his divine gift of music.
“I think sometimes, people think I am not approachable. Another misconception is that people also think I am too accessible.
“I grew up in a big family, I’m used to having people around me. My talent and success is God-given,” he said.
