Nigerian music star David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has remembered his late son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
Taking to his Twitter page, the father of six described his son as a legend and told him to rest in peace.
“Ifeanyi David Adedeji Adeleke RIP Legend”.
His post was met with mixed reactions as some accused him of trying to copy his rival, Wizkid, who made a tweet listing his kids’ names earlier on.

In an emotional interview earlier this year, Davido said he and his wife believes Ifeanyi came back trough their twin son as they share a striking resemblance. He said the loss made him chill, take care of his wife and family and get his head right. While reflecting on the pain, he stated that to come back for such heartbreak and be blessed with twins is indescribable.
Recall that Davido and Chioma lost their son, Ifeanyi Adeleke on Monday, October 31, 2022, just a few days after he celebrated his 3rd birthday. It was alleged that the toddler drowned in his father’s swimming pool and was rushed to a popular Lagos hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Speaking on his son’s death in a touching interview with CNN, last year, Davido broke down in tears as he revealed that grieving the loss of his son had some impact on his album. According to him, he had finished the album before the tragic loss, which made him take a step back. He stated that he and his wife, Chioma, didn’t deserve that.
Following his son’s demise, he dedicated a song in his album to him and his dead loved ones. During his media rounds for Timeless, Davido revealed that LCND, a song from his album, was dedicated to his lost loved ones.
The couple have since welcomed twins – a boy and girl, the same month their son died.
