Davido revealed he was able to get himself back on track because of the support he got from people.

In his words, “Before my son passed, we had finished the album. But it was a tragic situation and I really had to calm myself down and take a step back.

“Nobody would want that, and everybody knows that I and Chioma didn’t deserve that. At some point, I couldn’t open my Instagram for weeks.

“One day, I just checked it and I saw messages from every kind of person in the world. I was like ‘you’re fine, you see everybody is rooting for you.’ That was one thing that really made me strong enough to stand up again, get back in the studio and do what I love.”
