How I’ve been able to overcome difficult times – Davido credits his father’s lessons

• Davido has credited his father on some of life lessons he has learnt and how it has helped him overcome some difficult situations.
• The singer stated that his father taught him not to question God in whatever situation he finds himself.
• Davido referenced the loss of his son, Ifeanyi and how he had twins a year after.

Nigerian singer David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has revealed that his father’s lessons about having faith in God are what keep him motivated in the face of challenges.

In a recent podcast interview with Rollingout, Davido spoke about his upbringing in a Christian home and the impact of his father’s religious lessons on his life.

He noted that he has been able to overcome difficult times because his dad taught him never to question God. 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.”
