Popular Afrobeats singer and record label owner, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has admitted the success of his fourth studio album ‘Timeless’ is aiding his healing process after the loss of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
The ‘Electricity’ crooner made this known in a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM Atlanta, United States.
During the chat, Davido said after the 3-year-old drowned in the pool at his residence in 2022, he took a break from music and only started recording songs for his album three months after.

Talking to the Radio station, Davido said, “It is a special album to me, you know what I’m saying. Of course, after taking a long break, just coming back to having people really m*ss with the music. You know, sometimes you do an album, you probably get like four or three on there that are like big singles…”
When asked how he is feeling months after the death of his son, he said, “It hasn’t been easy. I just thank God for being able to do my job, to sit here talk to you. There was a point that I felt I wouldn’t be able to do my job. So, I’m just happy I’m able to be creative again.
“The success of the album has been part of my healing process. After like three months [after Ifeanyi’s demise] I was able to work again. Shootouts to all the producers that came through.”
