Davido is in mourning after his official photographer Fortunate Umunname passed on.

The BET Award winner lost yet another close friend and “family” inside his tight-knit inner circle a few months after he lost yet another friend 44 in 2021.

Taking to social media, Davido whose real name is David Adeleke wrote an emotional yet powerful message in honor of his photographer reiterating he cannot believe that he’s gone forever.

“Fortune @fortunateumunname ….. I can’t believe you’re gone. Since we met u never left my side. for one day… Your page says it all. You really were all about me like nothing else mattered. You went from a complete stranger to one of my closest confidants within weeks. There is nowhere I entered that you and your lens didn’t enter,” Davido shared on social media in part.

Fortunate Umunname was Davido's official photographer who travelled the world together with him touring over 50 cities in the world (including the Middle East, United Kingdom, South Africa and Other Parts of Africa ) spreading his love for his craft and documenting appealing images to the world of art.

Davido emphasizes that the photographer has always been by his side throughout his shoes, his tours since he’s a part of his entourage, he used to go wherever and everywhere he used to go, locally and abroad.

“I can’t even believe I’m writing a tribute to you right now wtf we still had so much more to do. Your workshops. Your studios. Trips. Shows. Scenes. Moments. All of it.

I can’t believe you didn’t give me the chance to fulfill the rest of my promises to you. my heart is so heavy right now and I’m just so grateful I met you. You truly were the best kid.

A rare breed and I’m so grateful that we got to travel the world and create so many iconic moments with you. You are irreplaceable and you are gone now but I will make sure you are never forgotten! I swear it! This next one’s for you! RIP lil bro. Love you forever ❤️ #FortuneShotItAll,” Davido concluded.
