Wizkid grieves, buries mum; Davido celebrates twins

After what looked like a rumour during the week, it has been confirmed that pop star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido and his wife, Chioma are now proud parents of a set of twins.

In a viral video yesterday, the couple was seen stepping out of the hospital in the United States, holding their newborn twins. The were driven home in a Beantley, belonging to grandfather, Deji Adeleke. Davido was all over the moon as pictures were taken outside the hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

Chioma was seen seated on a wheelchair cuddling the twins with Davido standing by her side.

In an Instagram post, Davido wrote “I love this moment.”

It was gathered that the singer was not happy with his friend, Samklef when he allegedly leaked the video of the singer and Chioma with their newborn twins.

Recall that Davido had earlier asked fans to stop circulating old images of them in a hospital during the birth of their late son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, which surfaced online.

The three-year-old died after drowning in a swimming pool at their Lagos residence last year.

The death of the lad left the pop star and his wife heartbroken and inconsolable, until now that God has wiped away their tears and made their joy full.

Meanwhile, in Lagos, emotions ran high yesterday when the remains of the mother of another Nigerian superstar, Wizkid were laid to rest.

Wizkid’s mother, Mrs Jane Dolapo Balogun, died on August 18, 2023 in London. A candlelight procession in honour of the singer’s mum was held on Wednesday with Wizkid making his first public appearance following a month-long period of silence as he grieved the loss of his mother.

Speaking at the burial ceremony, an emotional Wizkid said “I know everyone in my family shares this pain with me, and I know God in his infinite mercy is going to…it is impossible for the pain to go away, but I pray God to comfort us to be able to get on with the rest of life. God will comfort every one of us. The pain is profound. It hurts deeply, the deepest pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I’m lost and I pray God will comfort everyone of us. I’m lost without you, mum. I love you so much “

Wizkid grew up in a polygamous home with a Muslim father and a Christian mother. His father married three wives.
