In a candid interview with ABC News’ Rocsi Diaz, the Afrobeats star shared how the drowning of his son in October 2022 deeply reshaped his perspective on resilience and purpose.

The tragedy occurred at their Banana Island residence in Lagos.

Davido reflected on how he and his wife, Chioma, found the strength to overcome immense grief.

He said their journey through heartbreak has inspired many, with strangers approaching him to express gratitude for his example of courage in difficult times.

The host remarked, “Having to go through the loss of your son at that period, being able to step away and look back into your career, gave you a refocus and reappreciation of how you wanted to move going forward.”

Davido responded, “Of course, It changed my life. I know how many who randomly come to me at the airport to tell me how my strength has inspired them in hard times. I was telling my wife the other day that I’m proud of how we bounced back. Now, we got twins. They are big and shouting everywhere. For us to be able to go through the loss of our son and be able to bounce back in a major way is huge.”
