Davido applauds father for teaching him not to question God
Nigerian music icon Davido has shared how his father’s teachings on faith have been instrumental in helping him overcome life’s most challenging moments.
In a podcast interview with Rollingout, Davido spoke about his Christian upbringing and the profound influence of his father, a prominent businessman and church elder.
The singer attributed his ability to navigate personal and professional obstacles to the strong religious values instilled in him by his father.
In his words, “My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.
“I overcame a lot of challenges because of my dad. Initially, I did not understand, but now I’ve come to the realization. I was angry. Sometimes, I was like, ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ And my dad told me that you can’t question God.
“I was like, ‘What do you mean you can’t question God?’ And then a year later [after the death of my son, Ifeanyi], we had twins, the biggest album of my career came, and my first Grammy nominations came. Then it started to make sense. People go through different challenges, but just know that God has your back,” he added.
