In the middle of his turmoil, the Unavailable crooner recognizes his responsibilities to his loved ones, particularly Ifeanyi’s mother.

He understands the need to be strong not only for them but also for his fans worldwide. Davido expressed, “My son is watching over me. Besides supporting his mom, my primary duty, I must also be a source of strength for the world.”

The musician hoped that Ifeanyi and his late mother were dancing together in paradise.

He attributes his ability to rise above his grief to his unwavering faith in God, saying, “People witnessing my recovery journey see that it’s God’s doing. My wife and I relied on faith, and God proved His existence.”
