Davido Speaks on “Scary” Resemblance Between Son and Late Ifeanyi

- 3 May 2025

Davido, the popular Nigerian singer, recently opened up about the eerie resemblance between his young son and his late son, Ifeanyi, who tragically passed away in 2022.

In an emotional interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1, the artist described the resemblance as “scary,” saying it felt as if Ifeanyi had “come back.”

Reflecting on the deep pain of losing his first son in a drowning accident, Davido explained how it reshaped his life. “That type of loss made you just be like, ‘I’m out.’ I am just going to chill, take care of my wife and take care of the family and get my head right,” he said. “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’ type stuff.”

The singer also shared how the arrival of his twins— a boy and a girl— helped him heal. He credited his family, his marriage to Chioma, and the success of his 2023 album Timeless for strengthening his faith in God.

On his ongoing music journey, Davido hinted at upcoming collaborations with American artist Chris Brown, revealing they have already made about 20 songs together and are considering a joint album.

He also confirmed that he is venturing into the film industry, serving as an executive producer for a movie and series with his director, Dammy Twitch.
