Nigerian music superstar and icon, David Adeleke, fondly known by his stage name, Davido has disclosed that his Afrobeats colleague, Ayodeji Balogun popularly known as Wizkid were not on talking terms for twelve years.
Speaking in an interview on the Morning Show on Hot 97FM, New York, which was shared on Saturday, Davido claimed that they just started talking again following the death of his son.
He stated things changed after he lost his son and their hitherto strained relationship took a pleasant and familial turn.
Speaking in the video, he said, “With Wiz, over the years we had a rift, for 12 years we had a rift up until recently he chatted up and I am seeing the positivity.
“I am seeing the change in the industry a little bit because everybody is calming down, especially with my situation; the tragic situation that happened, he called me every week since it happened,” he added.
Recall that Davido and his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, lost their only son, Ifeanyi in November 2022, shortly after his third-year birthday.
It was reported that the boy drowned in a pool at his father’s house in Banana Island and was rushed to a hospital at Lekki where he was pronounced dead.
