“I love you, son. Tell my mom, Daddy is a superstar down here.”
Vero Adeleke, the singer's mother, died in 2003 at the age of 40.
Last month, Davido opened a hostel in Abia State dedicated to his late mother. He recalls his late mother as a teacher, giver, and believer in the power of knowledge and compassion to alter people's lives.
Davido claimed that the hostel was for her and all young Africans pursuing their aspirations.
While speaking with Vogue, Davido explained why he wore a cufflink featuring a portrait of his late son, Ifeanyi, for his white wedding. He explained that the image of Ifeanyi was meant to keep him close to their hearts on such a special day.

Recall that Davido and Chioma lost their son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, on Monday, October 31, 2022, just a few days after his third birthday. The toddler allegedly drowned in his father's swimming pool before being transported to a prominent Lagos hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In July, Davido remembered Ifeanyi. He referred to his late kid as a legend and encouraged him to rest in peace.
In an emotional interview earlier this year, Davido stated that he and his wife believe Ifeanyi returned through their twin boy, as they bear a strong likeness. While reminiscing on the grief, he noted that coming back from such heartbreak and being gifted with twins is unfathomable.
