Davido Reveals His Father Told Him “You Can’t Question God” During Tough Times
Nigerian music Artist David Adeleke, better known as Davido, recently shared a heartfelt revelation about how his father’s teachings about faith in God have played a crucial role in his life.
In a revealing podcast conversation with Rollingout, Davido opened up about his Christian upbringing and the profound influence his father’s religious guidance has had on him, especially during difficult times.
Davido reflected on his early life, growing up in a Christian home where his father, a successful businessman and an elder in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, instilled in him the importance of faith and trust in God.
He recalled the lessons that shaped his worldview, particularly the belief that challenges should never make one lose faith in God’s plan.
“I was raised in the church, attending services regularly and studying at a Christian college.
My dad was always firm about the idea that you can never question God, no matter the hardships you face,” Davido shared.
“At first, I struggled to understand this concept. It didn’t make sense to me—why do bad things happen to good people?
But my dad’s wisdom stayed with me, even when I couldn’t fully grasp it.”
The turning point for Davido came after the tragic loss of his son, Ifeanyi, a heartbreaking event that left him devastated.
He spoke about the overwhelming pain he experienced and how he questioned life itself during that period.
However, as time went by, Davido saw his father’s lessons take on new meaning.
He shared how, after this period of immense grief, blessings began to flow in unexpected ways.
“After losing Ifeanyi, life seemed unfair, and I was lost in my sorrow. But then, just a year later, my life took an incredible turn.
We were blessed with twins, my music reached new heights, and I received my first Grammy nominations.
I began to understand what my dad meant,” he explained.
“It’s been a hard journey, but I’ve learned that even in our darkest times, there’s always light ahead, and God’s plan is bigger than what we can see in the moment.”
Drake has reportedly lost a jaw-dropping $124 million to gambling in just one month. The Canadian rap star posted a screenshot of his massive losses on the betting platform Stake through his Instagram story, giving fans a glimpse into the downside of his high-stakes lifestyle.
“Gotta share the other side of gambling… Losses are so fried right now,” he wrote. “I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I’m the only one that has never a max these guys max once a week.”
This isn’t the first time Drake has taken a hit. Back in August 2024, he bet $450,000 on Israel Adesanya to beat Dricus du Plessis in a UFC title fight — a gamble that didn’t go his way. Just a few months later in November, he dropped another $355,000 betting on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, only to lose again. Drake’s betting streak may be flashy, but it’s proving to be just as costly.
Nigerian Singer Bright Chimezie expresses gratitude towards colleagues, Davido after he mentioned him as his source of inspiration.
During a recent interview with Hip Tv, Chimezie expressed his surprise to when he was mentioned by Davido. He then expresses thanks to the singer for recognizing him and using him a role model.
“Words cannot describe how I feel. I’m so delighted. I feel honoured. And I’m grateful to Davido for recognising that he drew inspiration from me,” he said.
“I didn’t even know that his song With You was inspired by my song Because Of English. He was the person who made me to understand that. He put a call across to me and confessed that he was inspired by my song. The humility and everything, I feel so happy about it.”
Popular Nigerian Singer Flavour reveals how the former music duo, P-Square, inspired his musical career.
During a recent interview, the singer shares his first encounter with the P-Square, Peter and Paul Okoye. He states how he experienced the duo perform and noticed the change in the audience, and how in that moment he got inspired.
“I was just watching, they did their thing. When they left, the manager turned and said ‘oya!’ then it started to occur to me that these guys, the difference is they create their own music, they make a sound and go to the studio and record and that’s how it’s done, and you are just a music man.”
“So how do I switch from music man to an artist, that was the difficult part of it and I thought it was going to be easy because I could play, I could sing…but now to create your own sound, where are you going to start from?”
