Chioma Adeleke, wife of Nigerian megastar Davido, has made a deeply emotional return to social media after nearly three years of silence, penning a moving tribute to her late son, Ifeanyi, whose tragic death in 2022 shook the nation. The heartfelt post on Thursday, August 21, 2025, marked her first public expression since the incident.
The celebrity chef and media personality shared a photo of her wedding bracelet adorned with Ifeanyi’s image, symbolising his eternal place in her life. In her caption, Chioma described him as her “best friend” who walked her “into forever” — words that resonated with thousands of fans who had long awaited her comeback.
“My best friend walked me into forever, Ify, you’re on my mind every day and you live in my heart. Always and forever. Love, Mummy,” she wrote. The message instantly went viral, drawing waves of sympathy, support, and solidarity from admirers across the globe.
Davido, who has also publicly carried the weight of his son’s death, reacted with a short but powerful response: “Till Infinity.” The two-word reply further stirred emotions, as fans described it as proof of their enduring love for Ifeanyi and each other.
Ifeanyi Adeleke, the couple’s first child together, tragically drowned at the family’s Banana Island residence in Lagos on October 31, 2022. His passing left fans, friends, and fellow celebrities devastated, while pushing Chioma into a prolonged period of privacy away from the public eye.
Her return has been described as “healing in motion,” with many praising her strength and courage to speak publicly about her grief. Messages from celebrities, colleagues, and fans poured in, assuring her of continued prayers and reminding the couple they are not alone in their journey.
This comeback is more than a personal post; it represents resilience and the unbreakable bond of a mother’s love. Chioma’s words have reignited conversations around loss, healing, and the silent battles many parents face after tragedy, making her return one of the most talked-about moments in Nigerian entertainment this year.
