Many have been left devastated by the news, following the news of the death of singer, Davido’s first son, Ifeanyi.
It was gathered that Ifeanyi drowned in a swimming pool at the singer’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State. According to reports, he was quickly taken to the hospital but efforts to revive him were futile.
While the couple is yet to release an official statement on this incident, some celebrities hinted at the death through their social media posts. Comedian Ayo Makun posted early hours of Tuesday on Instagram that the death of a child is “unnatural, unfair and tragic. This hits me so bad.”
While some Twitter users have expressed their condolences, others hang on to hope that the news is false.
A tweep, Peace Agina, expressed her pain by saying, “The demise of Davido and Chioma’s son is heartbreaking. No parent should lose their child. This is really sad. I pray God comforts them.”
Another tweep, Mr Walter said, “The death of a child remains mysterious, unjust & questionable to his/her creator. My condolences to Davido, his fiancée, Chioma. May God grant them the fortitude to bear this loss. The global entertainment industry is traumatised by this sad occurrence.”
A tweep, Mr Sam, shared his faith that Ifeanyi is still alive and said, “Till Davido tweets about it, Ifeanyichukwu lives. I want all parents to join me & say! no matter how old I am, I shall never witness the death of my children. Amen.”
Oluwadamilola90 hoped to get a positive response from Davido saying, “Waiting for positive news from #davido since last night. Good Lord shows mercy.”
Ifeanyi was born in 2019 to Davido and his partner Chioma. The two have been in an on-and-off relationship, with recent sightings indicating that they may tie the knot soon.
