Well-decorated Nigerian afrobeats star, David Adedeji Adeleke popularly known as Davido has revealed that he and his wife were taken aback by the news that they were expecting.
According to him, they found out Chioma was pregnant shortly after the death of their first child, Ifeanyi in October 2022.
Speaking at the United Masters Select Con event on Sunday, the ‘Feel’ hitmaker stated that at the time he was at a point in his life where he had given up.
“I was at the point of giving up. A beautiful boy and girl came back in double. I kept the faith despite it being very hard. I thought I was never going to be able to sing ever again. I’m telling God, I’m doing this no more,” Davido said.
However, in his lowest moments, Davido said that they did not only find out Chioma was pregnant but a year after the incident, he has had one of the most successful years in his career.
“I have had my most successful year, I have had my biggest album. Three days ago, my wife delivered twins. A beautiful boy and girl came back in double. I kept the faith despite it being hard.”
“When my wife and I found out, we were shaking, and it was in the same month my son passed. My son passed away last year in October, and my wife gave birth this year in October,” he said.
This comes days after it was confirmed that Davido and his wife Chioma Avril Rowland had welcomed twins.
In a new video shared online, Davido and Chioma were seen in front of a hospital celebrating their new status.
Chioma sat in a wheelchair holding the two children, one in each hand while her husband stood beside her smiling.
