The music star took to his Instagram page to announce to the world the arrival of his newborn saying ‘she was an answered prayer from God’. “As I hold my daughter, my own baby, in my arms on this day - all the proof in God I need is in her eyes, you are a gift from the heavens and my God indeed honoured His words in Psalms 65:11,” he wrote.
In the message, the celebrated musician also thanked Didi for her resilience during the pregnancy, revealing that she taught him how to be strong. "And to my beautiful wife Lineo, I watched how you changed by the day and I marvelled at your strength. I couldn’t imagine the stress you had to go through carrying another human in a body. But You taught me what real strength is as you endured every kick and change just to give us our baby girl, while still Taking care of all of us," he wrote.
He went on to express how lucky he feels to have her by his side each and every day of their lives together. "You are wonderful love and a rare gem. I’m grateful I get to wake up to you. You have proven yet again that you are unmistakably one of the best gifts God has ever blessed me with," he added.
A happy start to the year for the couple who on June 24, 2018, lost their 13-months-old son, Daniel Oyebanjo III. Oyebanjo, then Dbanj’s only child, died in a drowning incident, at a swimming pool in D'banj's Ikoyi residence. “For the first time in 21 months I slept in my room ... I thought it would be easier but the memories are so fresh,” said the self-styled Koko Master when he opened up his son’s passing.
