Singer Davido has revealed how his dad’s advice about having faith in God helped me overcome life’s challenges.
In a recent chat with Rollingout, the ‘Unavailable’ crooner shared insight on his upbringing in a Christian home and how his father’s religious lessons impacted his life.
Davido said he was able to scale through challenges because one of the lessons his dad taught him was never to question God.
“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 said.
