Actress Eniola Badmus has deleted videos of the late Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of Davido, which were posted on her Youtube channel after backlash from critics.
Qed.ng’s check on her Youtube channel on Thursday revealed that the videos about the boy’s death have been deleted.
The actress who is a close friend of Davido came under fire on social media after posting several videos chronicling Ifeanyi’s birth journey, his last moments and celebrity reactions to his demise on her monetised Youtube channel.
In the now-deleted videos on her YouTube page, Eniola created four content centered around Ifeanyi’s death.
The first video was about Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti’s reaction to his death, while the second focused on comedienne Princess blowing hot after she was accused of ignoring the tragic incident. Eniola also posted a video of Pastor Tobi Adegboyega canceling his birthday plans and another video revealing what is believed to be the real story about Ifeanyi’s death.
Many who were quick to view the content before she took it down dragged her on social media.
A Twitter user identified as Piccaxo wrote: “Wait, so Eniola Badmus posted this Davido incident on her YouTube channels to make money this girl is sick. cos wtf I thought she’s very close to David, something is wrong with this Eniola, David needs to stay away from her cos wtf.”
Eniola Badmus first came under fire when she broke the news about Ifeanyi’s death on her social media accounts. Moments after the post, Nigerians stormed the comment section, accusing her of using the boy’s death as a means of gaining more popularity. Others opined that it was insensitive to announce the death of a child before confirmation from the parents.
As the backlash spiraled, Eniola was forced to delete the post on Instagram and Facebook.
She has since then remained silent on the matter.
Ifeanyi died by drowning on Monday, October 31, eleven days after celebrating his third birthday.
Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland, a popular chef and influencer, have not yet commented on their son’s death.
