Superstar Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared how his father’s teachings on faith have helped him overcome life’s toughest challenges.
In a podcast interview with Rollingout, Davido reflected on his Christian upbringing and the profound influence of his father, a successful businessman and church elder. He credited his father’s strong religious values for guiding him through personal and professional hurdles.
In his words, “My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.
“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.
“I was like, ‘What do you mean you can’t question God?’ And then a year later [after the death of my son, Ifeanyi], 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,” he added.
