Nigerian superstar Davido's son with his lover Chioma is allegedly dead.

Ifeanyi, who just celebrated his third birthday is said to have drowned in a swimming pool on Monday night.

Ifeanyi was pronounced dead at the Lagoon Hospital in Ikoyi upon arrival.

It was said that young Ifeanyi drowned in the family pool and was underwater for a while before he was discovered and rushed to the hospital.

The couple, Davido and his lover Chioma had traveled to Ibadan for a family gathering and had left Ifeanyi with his minders who can’t explain how he got into the pool unnoticed and eventually drowned.

A week ago, Davido penned a heartwarming message to his son on his third birthday.

He wrote;

"I pray with all my heart that God grants you perfect health and pure happiness for as long as humanly possible. You will grow to be greater than Me, Happy birthday, son."
