Davido has shared a deeply emotional reflection on the uncanny resemblance between his newborn twin son and his late first son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, calling it “scary” and “divine.” The multi-award-winning Afrobeats star made the revelation during his recent interview on Apple Music 1 with Ebro Darden, stirring both empathy and fascination from fans around the world.
Speaking on the tragic loss of Ifeanyi, who drowned in a swimming pool at Davido’s Lagos residence on October 31, 2022, the singer recounted the devastating impact it had on his life and career. The little boy was just three years old. “That type of loss made me be like, ‘I’m out.’ I just wanted to be with my wife, focus on healing, and take care of the family,” Davido said.
Exactly one year after the tragedy, in October 2023, Davido and Chioma welcomed a set of twins—a boy and a girl—in the United States. What followed, Davido says, shook his entire family. “To come back from that and be blessed with twins just shows that God is real,” he said, visibly emotional. “And the boy looks just like my late son. It’s scary. It is like literally him. We are like, ‘No, it’s him. He came back.’”
This striking resemblance has left not only Davido and Chioma but their extended family and close friends believing in divine intervention. Fans online have also reacted with heartfelt messages, many expressing goosebumps at the possible symbolism of rebirth, grace, and spiritual continuity.
Since Ifeanyi’s death, Davido has become more family-focused, often seen celebrating his wife Chioma and keeping his family life more private. The arrival of the twins marked a quiet but powerful turning point in the singer’s personal journey—an arc from tragedy to testimony that has captivated millions.
Davido’s faith in God, repeatedly emphasized in recent interviews and songs, has been a core part of his healing process. “This was not just a comeback in music,” one fan wrote online, “this was God giving him beauty for ashes.” His words, “It’s like he came back,” are now trending across Nigerian social media.
The story of Davido’s resilience and the miracle of his twins continues to stir conversations about loss, healing, and the mysteries of life. As the world watches this new chapter unfold, one thing is clear—his bond with Ifeanyi lives on in powerful, unexpected ways.
