Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has opened up about how his father’s religious teachings have shaped his ability to navigate life’s challenges.

In a recent podcast interview with Rollingout, the award-winning singer highlighted the profound impact of his upbringing in a Christian home and the enduring lessons instilled by his father.

Davido reflected on his childhood, growing up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and attending a Christian college, and how his father’s faith served as a cornerstone for overcoming adversity.

“My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church,” Davido shared. “I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.”

The singer noted that his father’s advice to never question God has been pivotal in helping him deal with personal losses and career hurdles.

He particularly referenced his journey of healing following the tragic loss of his son, Ifeanyi, and the blessings that followed.

“I overcame a lot of challenges because of my dad. Initially, I did not understand, but now I’ve come to the realization. I was angry. Sometimes, I was like, ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ And my dad told me that you can’t question God,” Davido recounted.

He added, “A year later [after Ifeanyi’s passing], we had twins, the biggest album of my career came, and my first Grammy nominations came. Then it started to make sense. People go through different challenges, but just know that God has your back.”
