Young son of Atlanta-born Afrobeat star Davido drowns in family pool in Nigeria

Afro-pop star Davido’s young son has died a week after turning 3.

Lagos, Nigeria, police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed Tuesday to The Times that little Ifeanyi — full name David Ifeanyi Adedeji Adeleke Jr. — drowned around 6 p.m. Monday in the swimming pool at the singer’s Banana Island home.

Neither Davido nor his fiancée, Chioma Rowland, the boy’s mother, have commented yet on the death. Neither parent was home when the boy drowned, but both reportedly were in touch with police Monday night.
