Mourning the death of the boy, Nigerian celebrities in their numbers have taken to different social media platforms to express their shock over the loss and extended prayers to the singer and his entire family during this difficult phase.

The celebrities described the pain of losing a child as a deep one which no parent deserves to go through.

Commiserating with the singer, Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie wrote: “This hit so hard. No parent deserves to go through the pain of losing a child. Sending my condolences to Davido, Chioma and the entire Adeleke family. May God give you the strength to pull through this trying period.”
