BEVERLY HILLS, January 13, (THEWILL) – Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, aka ‘Davido’, has shared a letter he wrote in his childhood days to Veronica Adeleke, his late mother.
The ‘FEM’ crooner took to his Twitter page on Wednesday tp share a picture of a folded piece of paper where he had expressed his affection to his late mother as a child.
In the emotional note, Davido wrote: “Sweet mother, how much I love you, and how much love you gave to me. Despite my stubbornness, you were there to correct me. I miss your warm hugs, lovely kisses, and your lovely smile. You are a rare mother. You are one in a million. You will always be on my mind. Rest in peace, mum.”
Veronica was reported to have died from cardiac arrest on March 6, 2003 and Davido had earlier narrated the experience, saying: “I was about 10 to 11 years old when she died. She died on my father’s birthday.
“One thing I always wish for is that she should have been alive. I would have bought her a lot of diamonds and houses but she knew that I was going to be great.
“My mother was from Benin. I think I’m like her; I inherited her agility. She helped so many people to date, I go to some places and people would tell me what my mother did for them.
“Before my mother died, I was a mummy’s boy because my father was always busy. He was working and always traveling to places like China.”
