The tragic passing of Ifeanyi

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.
