Superstar Davido of Nigeria talks about how his father’s religious teachings have helped him get through the hardest times in life.
Davido discussed his Christian upbringing and the impact of his father, a prosperous businessman and church elder, in a Rollingout podcast interview.
The famous musician attributed his ability to overcome obstacles in both his personal and professional life to his father’s religious beliefs.
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.
