Sade’s transgender son has shared a heartfelt message of thanks to the soul singer, as he completes his transition from female to male.
Izaak Theo Adu, born Mickailia ‘Ila’ Adu, has spent the past six months in recovery after undergoing phalloplasty surgery, the reconstructive procedure typically undergone by transgender and non-binary people.
After returning home to his family, Izaak shared a sweet photo of himself hugging Sade, 60, along with a message praising the iconic singer for her unwavering support.
In the Instagram post, Izaak wrote:
‘It’s been a long hard road but We did it!! We are coming home!!!! ‘Thank you for staying by my side these past 6 months Mumma. Thank you for fighting with me to complete the man I am. ‘Thank you for your encouragement when things are hard, for the love you give me. The purest heart. I love you so much. Queen of queens ♥️ #mumma #lioness #queen#iloveyou.’
Izaak is Sade’s only child from her former relationship with reggae music producer Bob Morgan.
In 2016, Izaak came out as transgender to coincide with National Coming Out Day.
