“I have lost a lot of people” – Davido emotionally spills in new interview
Renowned Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, courageously opened up about his profound journey through grief and how he copes with the pain of losing loved ones.
This music icon is no stranger to heartache, having faced unimaginable losses throughout his life. He tragically lost his mother, Mrs. Victoria Imade Adeleke, at just 11 years old, a wound that never fully healed.
The heart-wrenching loss of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, has left an even deeper scar, alongside the untimely deaths of close associates such as Tagbo, DJ Olu, Obama DMW, and his personal photographer, Fortune, all occurring in rapid succession.
In a recent interview with Mystery Fashionist in New York, where he captivated the audience with his striking outfit that highlighted his unique style, Davido opened up about the profound losses he has endured throughout his life.
The OBO Crooner, in the new video, shared the emotional weight of losing many loved ones and revealed how his unwavering faith has served as an anchor amid the tragedies.
His words;
“I have lost a lot of people. I lost my mum at the age of eleven. I’m just being strong. I did a song called ‘Stand Strong.’
“I feel like strength and obviously, my faith has kept me going,”
He also took the opportunity to clear up some misconceptions about his life and persona, spoke on the importance of family and the divine gift of his talent.
Davido explained;
“I think sometimes, people think I am not approachable. Another misconception is that people also think I am too accessible.
“I grew up in a big family, I’m used to having people around me. My talent and success is God-given,”
Fuji music legend Saheed Osupa has reignited his feud with street-pop star Portable, declaring in a viral video that the younger artist will “still be dealt with”, but did not mention direct as to who he was referring to. This comes days after Portable publicly apologized for insulting Osupa during a copyright dispute.
The clash began on March 19 when Portable accused Osupa of reporting his song for copyright infringement after it sampled one of Osupa’s lines. Portable lashed out, calling the Fuji icon *”big for nothing,”* but backtracked a day later, pleading for forgiveness in a tearful video.

Neither artist has issued an official statement, but the drama continues to spark reactions online. Will Portable respond, or has he learned his lesson? Only time will tell.
