Davido has too much people around him, and it's all fake love. They are all they for the money. All fake love for real. They couldn't even watch over ifeanyi as their own son. This is too much

My heart goes out to him and his family.
Davido and Chioma will not forgive themselves easily for the pain of losing their son. As a parent you will need divine intervention to let this go.

It’s sad but need to be said. Dbanj’s baby died in vain, we hope davido’s loss brings about a change. Keep your pool barricaded or covered at all hours until you are about to dive in . For people with toddlers at home

So unbelievable. If it is really true, ndo, nwa biara uwa.
may God comfort your parents.

I'm terribly pained even though I'm not an Adeleke family member, nor close to chef Chi and @Davido. But the question that can't leave my mind is how this sort of accident could have occurred in a house with plenty domestic staffs,, friends and parents alike?
— celebrity babe(akwaeke) (@chinemeremjoy4) November 1, 2022
Davido has lost so much this year. Bless his soul. As for Chioma, I don't know how she'll go through this, it must be so tough on them.

We need cctv in our society today. CCTV should be able to reveal what actually happened to Davido and Chioma’s son, Ifeanyi.
