Davido Emotionally Describes How Twin Son Resembles First Born Son That Passed

In a deeply emotional revelation, Nigerian singer, Davido has opened up about the uncanny resemblance between his Twin son and his late son, Ifeanyi.

Speaking on Apple Music 1, the singer described the similarity as “scary,” delving deep for the first time on how the loss of Ifeanyi in late 2022 affected his and his family emotionally and psychologically.

He termed the November 2022 incident as “one of the darkest moments of my life.”

“That type of loss made you just be like, ‘I’m out’. I’m just going to chill, take care of my wife and take care of the family and get my head right,” he emotionally shared.

After the tragic drowning of Ifeanyi in November 2022, Davido and Chioma went through a quiet period, secretly tying the knot. Nearly a year later, they welcomed a set of twins in October 2023.

Davido revealed that every time he looks at his boy twin’s face, he sees Ifeanyi – a resemblance he said is something scary to him.

“And the boy looks just like my son that passed. It is scary. It’s like literally him. We’re like, ‘No, it’s him. He came back,’” Davido said.

Now a father again, he reflected on how the pain shaped him saying that he didn’t think he will see himself getting out of that dark period and getting back his happiness in ten-fold.

“To come back from that and be blessed with twins out the gate… it just shows God is real.”

The experience, he says, has changed how his social experience with other people on and off the internet” more empathetic, more grounded, and more inspired to be a light through music and life.

On October 2023, Davido and Chioma welcomed the set of twins, exactly a year after the death of their only child Ifeanyi who perished in a drowning accident at home.

Davido confirmed the news of the twins' birth in a video that went viral, showing him beaming with joy alongside Chioma and other well-wishers.

BBC News reported that Davido described the arrival of the twins as a "beautiful" blessing, adding that he found solace in his faith and loved ones after the loss of his son.
