Nigerian musician, David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, has opened up on why he chose not to pay tribute to Ifeanyi Adeleke, his late son, in his new album, \u2018Timeless\u2019.<\/p>\n
Davido\u2019s fans had thought the album would focus on the singer\u2019s late son. However, Davido chose to be more entertaining with the album.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Monday during a press conference ahead of the upcoming \u2018Timeless\u2019 concert scheduled for April 23 in Lagos, Davido explained that his goal was to release a classic album with minimal or no emotional songs to prevent followers from being emotional over the loss of his son.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201dpeople who have been following songs for years can attest to this. I have always been a happy person, regardless of what I may be going through.<\/p>\n
\u201dIf sad songs are to come, it will be an entirely different project on its own as I never had plans of combining them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Timeless\u2019 was released on March 31 to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n
The album broke the record for the biggest debut week on Spotify Nigeria and the biggest first-day streams on Boomplay. Also, Apple revealed that the album set a record as the most first-day streams ever for an African album.<\/p>\n
