Kemi Olunloyo, a Nigerian journalist, has made an astonishing claim concerning Ifeanyi Adeleke, the late son of Afrobeats sensation Davido and his wife, Chioma Rowland.
Recall that Davido’s three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, died on October 31, 2022, after drowning in his father’s swimming pool in Banana Island, Lagos.

A family source had revealed after his death that Davido and Chioma had travelled to Ibadan on that day to attend a family gathering, leaving Ifeanyi with a female domestic assistant.
However, Anita Brown, an American woman who accused Davido of impregnating her and asking her to abort the unborn child, said the musician was not with Chioma when Ifeanyi died, as widely reported.

Kemi Olonloyo confirmed Anita’s remark on her Twitter page, emphasising that Davido’s team lied to the public by claiming that both parents left their child in the hands of a nanny to attend an event in Ibadan.
The self-proclaimed investigative journalist also stated that Ifeanyi was never a male but a girl, noting that because Chioma was desperate to have a child for Davido, they dressed him up as a boy until his death.
She tweeted, “Anita was right. Davido was NOT with Chioma when Ifeanyi lost his life. They lied that they were in Ibadan for an event. Ifeanyi Adeleke was a girl dressed like a boy throughout the child’s three years. Chioma actually delivered a baby girl on October 20th, 2019.”
