Gospel singer and former Destiny Kids member, Favour Iwueze, is celebrating the arrival of her fourth child. The joyful news was shared by her sister, Rejoice Iwueze, via Instagram on Monday with a tender photo of the newborn’s tiny hand and a message of gratitude to God for a safe delivery.
“And we came back from this journey with a testimony. God started us on this journey and He has brought us over to the next phase. Happy New Month,” Rejoice wrote, celebrating her sister’s growing family.
While many fans flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages and prayers, a few social media users had mixed feelings about the frequency of Favour’s childbirths. One follower wrote, “Ummm, take it easy madam,” to which Favour calmly responded, “Okay ma,” choosing not to engage in any online dispute.

This isn’t the first time the Iwueze sisters have faced criticism over their personal lives. In 2023, Rejoice herself was trolled online for having a child shortly after her wedding. Despite the unsolicited opinions, both sisters continue to handle public scrutiny with grace, keeping their focus on faith and family.
Favour Iwueze rose to fame as part of the Destiny Kids music group and is best known for her song, “Joy Joy Joy,” which remains a gospel staple in many Nigerian homes.
