Davido quiet as rumour of son's death circulate on social media
The distraught musician was alleged to have been escorted from the hospital where his 'late' son had been transported to his father's residence.
Nigerian popstar Davido is currently trending on Nigerian social media, owing to rumours that the musician and his fiancee, Chioma Rowland, had lost their kid, Ifeanyi.
Eniola Badmus, a prominent Nigerian actress and close friend of the artist, broke the news in a now-deleted tweet.
However, Davido and his crew were yet to respond to the news, which broke hours after the word of Ifeanyi's death emerged on social media.
When Daily Trust called the singer's manager, Asa Asika, his phone line was not answered.
The three-year-old drowned in a pool at his father's residence on Banana Island on Monday, according to unsubstantiated sources.
It was learned that several persons were arrested at Davido's house at the time of the incident.
The distraught musician was alleged to have been escorted from the hospital where his 'late' son had been transported to his father's residence.
Nigerians, on the other hand, have taken to their various social media accounts to pray for the family while hoping that the report is false.
Stephanie Victoria Allen, best known as Stefflon Don, a British rapper and musician, rushed to her verified Twitter account to pray for the singer. "Prayers for Davido and Chioma," she tweeted.
@CruzNwachukwu, another microblogging app user, tweeted, "Until Davido tweets about it, I'm not believing anything God abeg oh, Ifeanyi can't be gone that quickly."
