Nigerian afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has
said the success of his fourth studio album ‘Timeless’ is helping him to heal
from the pain of losing his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
He stated this in a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM,
Atlanta, United States.
He said it took him three months to start recording songs
for his album after his son drowned in a pool at his residence in Banana
Island, Lagos State, in October 2022.
Davido said, “It is a special album to me, you know what I’m
saying. Of course, after taking a long break, just coming back to having people
really m*ss with the music. You know, sometimes you do an album, you probably
get like four or three on there that are like big singles…”
When asked how he is feeling now, the OBO crooner said, “It
hasn’t been easy. I just thank God for being able to do my job, to sit here
talk to you. There was a point that I felt I wouldn’t be able to do my job. So,
I’m just happy I’m able to be creative again.
“The success of the album has been part of my healing
process. After like three months [after Ifeanyi’s demise] I was able to work
again. Shootouts to all the producers that came through.”
