He added, “Daddy loves you specially, physically, spiritually, and powerfully.” The PUNCH reports that at the end-of-year party of a real estate company in December 2018, the singer also revealed how he was able to get through the death of his son. He said, “I have been through tough times, but I believe that’s what makes one a man. You all know what happened to me recently when I lost my son; it was really a tough time for me. But do you know how I was able to get through it? It was because of you, my fans. You showed me so much love and it really meant a lot to me and my family. It is when certain things happen to you that you will know whether you are a man or not. That incident was a test for me, and I am glad that I’m still standing.” Olayiwola Ajisafe Ajisafe is a multimedia journalist and digital copy editor with over four years experience
