My Son’s Death Ended My Rift With Wizkid – Davido

Top music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has disclosed that during the ordeal of losing his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, he was consoled by fellow music super star and rival, Ibrahim Balogun, a.k.a Wizkid, who spoke to him on phone every week.

Making this known in an interview on Hot FM Morning Show in New York on Saturday, Davido stated that his rift with Wizkid, which was on for 12 years, ended abruptly during their weekly conversations.

Davido, who is getting rave reviews after releasing his new album ‘Timeless’, said:
“With Wiz (Wizkid), over the years we had a rift for 12 years and this continued up until recently he chatted up and I am seeing the positivity.

“I am seeing the change in the industry a little bit because everybody is calming down, especially with my situation; the tragic situation that happened, he called me every week since it happened.”

The CEO of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) quit the social media and took a break from his music career over the death of his son late in 2022. He fully came back recently, with his disclosure of his tough times and announcing that he had grieved and back and better.

During this ordeal of more than three months, he got formally married to his fiancee, Chioma Rowland, the mother of his deceased son.
