On 27 February, Dami revealed his beloved father passed away. Dami began his heartbreaking post by writing: "There's a pain in my heart as I write this. Took me a while to actually say it out loud to the point at times I didn't even know what to say. Nothing feels real, I keep praying I'm just in a fever dream and everything will be as it once was when I wake up."

The 26-year-old continued: "But I keep waking up to the same painful reality. I've lost my father. He's no longer here anymore and it kills me inside. I would have done anything to have been able to keep him here!" Dami went on to recall how amazing his father was and how much he wanted to make him proud,

.He continued: " Pray I live a life deserving of your respect and one you could be proud of. I pray you know no more sorrow or suffering and only joy. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life Dad." Thank you for always being someone to look up to. Even in death, I will still look up to you. I'm happy I was by your side till the bitter end, I hope every word I spoke to you reached you. I love you Dad and even though I'm my mom's twin I'm most definitely my father's son."
