Public Reaction and Previous Statements
The short but impactful message quickly garnered significant attention, accumulating over 1.9 million views, more than 5,000 reposts, and 41,000 likes as of press time.
This marks one of the rare instances Davido has publicly addressed the tragic loss of Ifeanyi, who passed away on November 1, 2022, reportedly from drowning at the family's Banana Island residence. The news of Ifeanyi's death deeply affected the entertainment industry and fans alike.
Following Davido's recent post, an outpouring of condolences and prayers came in from numerous X users and fellow celebrities.
Ifeanyi's Legacy and Family Life
In a May 2025 interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Davido shared a striking observation about one of his newborn twins, born in October 2023. He noted an "uncanny" resemblance to Ifeanyi, stating, “And the boy looks just like my son (Ifeanyi) that passed. It is scary. It’s like literally him. We’re like, ‘No, it’s him. He came back’ type stuff.”
Davido, who secretly married Chioma Rowland after Ifeanyi's death, later held a grand wedding ceremony in June 2024.
Reflecting on how the loss transformed his life, the singer expressed, “That type of loss made you just be like, ‘I’m out’. I am just going to chill, take care of my wife and take care of the family and get my head right.”
