The three year-old son of popular music artiste, Davido, and his fiancée, Chioma Rowland, has reportedly died

Reports hinted that Ifeanyi Adeleke drowned in a swimming pool at his residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State.

In a bid to revive him, the three-year-old victim, after being pulled out of the swimming pool, was reportedly rushed to a hospital in the Lekki area of the state, where he was confirmed dead by one of the doctors on duty.

Though the family is yet to react to the tragic development, entertainment lovers, had been outraged and traumatised by the development.

A number of celebrities, including comedians Ayo Makun and Lasisi Elenu, and radio personality Daddy Freeze, who confirmed the death, have posted sad messages.

Makun, in an Instagram post early Tuesday, wrote, “The death of a child is unnatural, unfair, and tragic, this hit me so bad.”

Daddy Freeze, who went live on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning said, “When the person you love is someone involved it becomes a heavy emotional burden. I am not confirming anything but bear with me I will not be live tonight.”

Lasisi Elenu also posted, “Father heal your children’s heart from this pain, strengthen them in such a dark and hurtful time oh Lord.”

The Punch reported that reality TV star and actress, Rosemary Afuwape, said on her Instagram story, “My heart can’t take this. This is so painfully unbearable. Chioma and Davido please accept my condolences. No amount of words can comfort your hearts. I am truly sorry for your loss.”

As of 1.28am, news of Ifeanyi’s rumored death was the most trending topic on Twitter.

The rumored death, however, emanated from a now deleted post from actress, Eniola Badmus, late Monday.

Nigerians, while reacting to Badmus’ post, criticised her for leaking such sensitive information to the public.

On March 31, 2023, Davido released his highly anticipated fourth album ‘Timeless’. The 17-track album comes three years since the release of his last album and it’s the first time he’s putting out new music since May 2022.

Just hours into the album release, ‘Timeless’ has already reached NO. 1 on the Apple Music album chart in 17 countries across the world.

The album is topping in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, Niger, Malawi, Benin, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Qatar, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe. Davido is one of the biggest artists on the continent so it’s unsurprising that his album already occupies the top spots just hours into its release. The chart performance of ‘Timeless’ in Qatar doesn’t come as a surprise as Davido performed at the FIFA 2022 World Cup hosted by the country. The United Kingdom has continued to be a huge market for Afrobeats hence the album is expected to enjoy wide patronage there.

Fans will be eager to see how many countries the album will dominate in the coming days.
