The musician disclosed that their strength has become an example to many, narrating how individuals have come to him multiple times to express gratitude for encouraging them to remain strong during difficult times.
“Reflecting on my career and taking a step back after losing my son helped me refocus on my future goals.” I had a life alteration.
“I am aware of the number of people that approach me at random in the airport to share how my strength has helped them during difficult times. The other day, I was telling my wife that I was proud of our ability to recover. Now we have twins. They are large and yelling everywhere. It’s really great for us to be able to move over the loss of our baby and recover significantly,” Davido remarked.
