Nigerian singer D’banj has shared an emotional tribute to his late son, Daniel, who died in June 2018.
The singer also posted a series of old photographs of himself with Daniel, including one showing him changing his son’s diaper. The pictures offered a glimpse into their time together before Daniel’s death at the age of one.
In his tribute, D’banj reflected on fatherhood, family and the impact of losing his son. He also acknowledged his wife, expressing his understanding of the loss they experienced together and noting that their family is now in a safer and more settled place.
“I miss you Daniel D3rd my son and trust me I can’t imagine how your mother feels but we are in a Safe Space now THANK YOU,” he wrote.
He also thanked Daniel for the lessons his life had taught him, adding that he hoped his son would be proud of the family he left behind.
“Thank you for Showing me what life Really is as a WHOLE,” the singer wrote.
Daniel, affectionately referred to as D3rd by his father, died in a drowning incident at the family’s home in Ikoyi, Lagos, in 2018. D’banj and his wife, Lineo Didi Kilgrow, have since welcomed two more children.
The singer ended his message by expressing his enduring love for Daniel and signing off as “Daniel D2nd Lee.”
