D’banj did not directly address the tragedy of his son’s death but took to Instagram to acknowledge the troubled times that he and his family were enduring. “Trying Times,” the Afrobeats artist shared with his Instagram fans this past weekend. “But my God is Always and Forever Faithful,” D’banj added.
