Sports fans on social media have been congratulating Davido and his wife Chioma after an unconfirmed rumour claimed the couple had welcomed a baby boy in London.
American-born Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer David Adedeji Adeleke OON professionally known as Davido, is back on the social media trends.
There was a buzz on social media among sports fans after unconfirmed reports claimed Davido, one of the biggest music exports from Nigeria, had welcomed a baby boy with his wife, Chioma.
The tragic passing of Ifeanyi
Several months ago, after hearing the tragic news of the death of their first child and Ifeanyi Adeleke Jr, the Nigerian sports community extended their condolences.
A few days after his third birthday, Ifeanyi reportedly drowned in the pool of his father's villa on Banana Island.
After the tragedy, Davido stayed out of the limelight for a while before returning to the stage to perform at the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar on December 18, 2022.
Sports fans react to rumour
The Nigerian sporting community have reacted to the unconfirmed rumours of Davido welcoming a child with his wife Chioma Rowland.
Sports fans flooded PulseSports Nigeria Facebook page to congratulate Davido, popularly called “OBO” and “001” by some of his followers.
