It’s Like Seeing Ifeanyi Again’ — Davido Breaks Silence On Striking Similarity With New Son

Afrobeats sensation Davido has opened up about the uncanny resemblance between his newborn son and his late child, Ifeanyi Adeleke. In an emotional interview on Apple Music 1 with Ebro Darden, the singer described the similarity as “scary,” recalling the devastating loss of Ifeanyi in 2022 as one of the darkest periods of his life.

According to Naija News, following the heartbreaking death of Ifeanyi in November 2022, Davido and his wife Chioma took time away from the spotlight, quietly marrying in the aftermath. Almost a year later, in October 2023, the couple welcomed a set of twins.

Speaking about his son’s appearance, Davido revealed that his family believes the child may be a reincarnation of Ifeanyi.

“That kind of loss makes you want to step away from everything. I just wanted to focus on my wife, my family, and getting my mind right,” Davido said.

Reflecting on the striking resemblance, he added, “The boy looks just like my late son. It’s scary — like it’s literally him. We’re all saying, ‘That’s him. He came back.’”

Now a father once again, Davido shared how the experience has reshaped his perspective: “To come back from that and be blessed with twins right away… it’s a clear sign that God is real.”
