Davido takes baby mama, Sophia Momodu to court over custody of daughter, Imade
Birth of Imade Adeleke: Davido learned about Sophia’s pregnancy in her second trimester and decided to be a responsible dad without marrying her. He leased an apartment in Lekki for Sophia and covered all expenses. After Imade’s birth in May 2015, a DNA test confirmed Davido as the father.
Financial Strains: Post-confirmation, Sophia began demanding more financially. Davido furnished her apartment, paid for all baby needs, and gave Sophia a monthly allowance. Despite this, Sophia’s family, including Dele Momodu, did not support her financially or emotionally.
Medical Emergency: Imade fell seriously ill in July, leading to a discovery of high cannabis levels in Sophia’s blood, which affected Imade through breastfeeding. The Adeleke family took custody of Imade to ensure her health and safety.
Dubai Controversy: Imade needed follow-up medical care in Dubai. Dele Momodu and his wife obstructed this trip, claiming unfair treatment as Sophia was not provided a ticket. Davido insisted it was for Imade’s health, not a family vacation.
Custody Battle: Sophia’s demands escalated, including a car and higher allowance, which Davido declined due to her irresponsible lifestyle. This led to a public spat, fueled by Dele Momodu’s online posts, exacerbating the situation.
Davido, at 23, expressed his commitment to fatherhood while refuting any obligation to marry Sophia. He emphasized his focus on Imade’s well-being and his future.
