Davido narrated that, as a young person, he struggled to understand why bad things happen to good people. He was angry and questioned why such suffering existed. His father's response was that one could not question God's will, a concept the speaker initially found hard to accept.
In his words: “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."
