In a recent interview, Davido, the renowned Nigerian singer, reflected on his personal life, touching on his past experiences with infidelity and the impact of his family’s tragic loss. In 2022, Davido and his wife Chioma Avril Rowland faced a heartbreaking ordeal when their young son Ifeanyi drowned in their home swimming pool.
During the interview, Davido was asked about his commitment to ending infidelity in his life. He responded honestly, saying, “I don’t want any wahala. I’m okay. I can do it if I want to—but I don’t want to. I’ve got four kids and four baby mamas. I’ve had that experience. What more do you want to hear if I do it again?” This candid remark demonstrated his readiness to move on from that part of his life and focus on his family.
When further questioned about the possibility of marrying a second wife, Davido gave a clear answer: “No.” This statement reaffirmed his commitment to Chioma, his longtime partner, with whom he shares a deep bond, especially after their son’s tragic passing.
Davido also spoke emotionally about the pain of losing Ifeanyi, explaining how his family played a vital role in helping him navigate through the difficult period. “My family kept me grounded. When my world went dark, they were there. I come from a very big family, and my wife’s family was also there to support us. My dad even put everything on pause, including his business,” he shared. His family’s unwavering support was essential in helping him cope with the devastating loss.
As part of their healing journey, Davido and Chioma welcomed twins—a boy and a girl—into their lives. The boy, in particular, reminded them of their late son Ifeanyi. “The boy looks and acts like our late son. My wife and I believe he came back. I believe in God,” he said. This spiritual belief has been an important aspect of their healing process. Despite the joy of welcoming new children into their family, Davido admitted that it wasn’t easy to balance healing with moving forward. “Sometimes I felt like I was healing too fast. You’re smiling, but then realize you need to slow down,” he reflected. Recognizing the need to prioritize his family, he made the decision to move them to Atlanta, where he focused on nurturing their relationships and eventually married Chioma.
Regarding rumors of a feud with fellow Nigerian artist Tiwa Savage, Davido clarified that there was no animosity between them. He described Tiwa as a sister and explained that the tension between them was purely personal. “Tiwa is like my sister. We grew up together. The situation was personal—she’s close to my first baby mama. At that time, I was going through a court battle and asked her to help me see my daughter. That led to an argument, but it was like how siblings argue. There’s no bad blood. She’s an amazing person, and I’d never let anything happen to her,” he said.
This interview sheds light on how Davido has grown from his past experiences, learning valuable lessons about family, love, and personal growth. Through heartache and joy, he has come to realize the importance of family and staying grounded, and it’s clear that his focus now is on nurturing his loved ones and building a peaceful life.
