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.”
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
