23-year old Nigerian singer Davido who became a father earlier this year when his baby mama, Sophia Momodu gave birth to a baby girl for him is in a very shocking public battle over the custody of his daughter, Imade.
He also revealed how things haven’t been very rosy since the birth of his daughter Imade, and how both parties have since turned at each other, with Sophia and her uncle, Dele Momodu, accusing Davido of alleged child trafficking and abduction of the baby.
The singer took to social media to tell his side of the story. Read below!
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu.
I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes.Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja.
I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the gave lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade.

As for the person of Sophia, I paid a two year rent for her apartment at Lekki and she receives a monthly allowance of 300,000 naira from me ever since Imade was born. This December, Sophia received 500,000 naira as her Allowance and Christmas bonus.
On a routine hospital check, my daughter was found to be infested with massive dosage of poisonous cannabis that she contracted from the breast feeding regime of her mother's breast. We still don't know how much Imade was damaged by this toxic feeding and medical tests and procedures continue to rise and bemuse me and my family members.
Already, Imade has special needs and has been treated at the American Hospital,Dubai with all medical costs and travel expenses drawn off my personal purse ever sine she was born.
On December 29, Imade was supposed to travel, once more, to Dubai for further medical care. A family vacation was attached to this medical trip. But our family plan was truncated by Sophia, her uncle, Dele Momodu in the company of his wife, and all these persons were the significant accessory to the Lagos Airport debacle.
It is this incidence of December 29 that made implicitly necessary to bring my family matter to the public domain. I agree, both parents have to give simultaneous approval to the travel plans of an infant. But I do not intend for Sophia to join me on this trip as if we are going away on a spousal honeymoon. It is also fair to allow her to come along if she could pay for the costs of her own trip.
Why must I bear medical expenses for my daughter as well as the travel cost of her mum, who is neither my wife nor a friend at all? By what authority or court documents was Dele Momodu enabled to stop my child who embarked on a medical trip that would improve her wellness. I David, the father of the child was already available to attend to the child's care? Which Agency of government, as claimed by Dele Momodu and his wife, issued the authority to deny my sister, myself, my daughter and my dad on a rightful travel plan? And what has been the financial stake of Uncle Dele Momodu over my daughter, ever since she was born.
I rented an apartment for his niece who is not my wife and I duly pay monthly charges. What has uncle Dele Momodu done for my daughter or even his niece? Momodu family also wants me to buy a car for a woman who is not my wife and also an habitual and ceaseless night crawler who is unable and unwilling to mother or even bathe her own child?
;I am 23 years old now. Sophia got me and appropriated me at 21. I have just unbridled my life from her diabolical and shameless stranglehold. She should find her own life and leave me alone. Her uncle too should help her to quit the streets and find her a career. I am not her meal ticket or ATM because she has a baby for me. I love Imade and would do everything to defend this innocent baby that is being abused by callous adults for extortion purposes.
As for me, I feel bad that my dad, who had boarded Emirates and was already issued a boarding pass but was forced to elect not to travel anymore because his daughter and granddaughter were prevented from travelling on December 29 by the Momodus. The passports of my daughter and sister were impounded for no just cause. The airline has refused to give a refund because my dad was already allocated a seat and boarding pass. Calmly, he lost over One and half million naira for his First class ticket. What is the loss to Uncle Dele Momodu in this matter ? But more precisely, what is his gain ? But o know who the real losers are.
Our lawyers are looking into the books and digging for legal recompense. The authority used by Uncle Dele Momodu is the callous enforcement of corrupt practices in the conduct of an ordinary domestic issue. Uncle Dele Momodu has boasted about possessing certain things he knows about me and my family. I dare him to publish or perish whatever he has in his pouch, globally !

Shay bi you like to chop big tottos. I guess you have learnt a big lesson the hard way. You know you wouldn't try that shit in America bro.
ReplyDeleteBaba in America all hez lawyers needs to prove is that the mother is not capable of taking care of imade,she got her disease from her poisoned intoxicated breast and she doesnt have any finacial background, few pictures of her in a club balling without the child is enough for the child to be taking away from her
DeleteCalm down it is done in America...I live in LA,usa,
DeleteIf it is true what Davido says...I guess he should shut up and be as civilized as to keep family matters within family circle!
ReplyDeleteThe matter was no more within the family circle when they attacked him at the airport, if they wanted it withing the family circle they should have settled it before he got to the public.. This issue is already beyound david and he needs public help, some young boys out there are suffering this extortion issue.. Its better he brings it out so we know..
DeleteLet them zip up or better still get married or play safe.must they do this baby daddy thing?
DeleteDavido you are wrong here...you have to travel with baby mama as long as baby is involved. Sorry Omo baba olowo.
ReplyDeleteThats a lie, he doesnt have to, all he needs is permission which she could have easily granted if not for selfish reasons .. Tell me if davido was married to another woman would sophie go with them on a family vacation with imade??? Thats never possible
DeleteYou busy commenting becos u see turn of events smh...she's not with the baby and receives #300,000 monthly, pls how much is ur own salary, Davido is a gentleman
DeleteDavido, did you write this or your lawyer did? The paltry education qualification can also be attributed to your person, mind u.
ReplyDeleteI dont have to hold a master's degree to write that.. Someone is bringing extortion issue to the public and all you see in it is paltry education
DeleteDo not get me wrong. If you feel uncomfortable with my observation, then imagine how ur ex feels. U did not have to disparage her so scathingly. Your not wanting a person in your life is a personal choice. Spare us her physical and mental deficiencies, without which we would still sympathize with your quandary.
DeleteDavid, consider giving the baby to the Momodu's and cut all ties with them. The matter is now public and we know the story. In 18 years when Imade is an adult, the general public will inform her that her father did not abandon her and Sophia. If they insist that you must pay the bills for mother and child, then insist that they must give you the child and this time go to a court and have them sign custody to you. Don't let them have both the baby and your money, one is enough. Stand your ground.
DeleteEnter your comment...haaaahaaa y wud u judge lik dat hasn't he tried...I guess its beyond his capability dat y he is publicizing it but@atleast d uncle to d wife ave indeed done a great terible tin
ReplyDeleteMake una leave davido alone. Them wan chop him money. That's life sha. I pray You guys should settle it. I love Mr Adeleke and he is a good man who has blessed all with his wealth
ReplyDeleteAll is fair in love and war, Davido can disparage her as much as he wants. What kind of a mother breast feeds her baby cannabis.R Monster mom. Dele momodu the humpty dumpty should be ashamed of himself, for raising a woman who seduces young men and tries to trap them by getting pregnant. Mtcheew. What kind of family is she representing. A family that cannot teach their daughters to protect their chastity, and not indulge in unlawful unmarried sex. That makes her a fornicator and people are here defending her. She has no honour at all. davido, henceforth stop all the rent and allowance you give her, let mr humpty dumpty momodu do that for her. When your daughter is of age, you can fight for her.
ReplyDeleteI think no body really knows the truth so judge not what they r all saying now just becos the want sides I think David's should be more mature now if he had play a manly role b4 traveling it won't be a public ish igo is d problem
DeleteDavid wen u dey chop, u no remember of paltry education $ infection of drugs
ReplyDeleteYou must have read his regrets. He has publicly admitted and expressed his regrets for his indiscretion. What else do you want him to do. Dele should be ashamed of the antics and obvious blackmail of his niece. How proud does Dele feel to be associated as an uncle of a girl that fits the description of Sophia in this story?. Going by this story, Davido has very strong emotional feelings for this baby: otherwise I would advise him to just leave the girl for Sophia and Dele Momodu to take care of whatever challenges the girl has medically. If Dele is very sincere about his motives as being concerned about the baby, it is not out of place for him to foot the bill and sponsor his niece on the medical trip for the baby.This has become public knowledge now. The girl would not blame Davido in the future for that.
DeleteYou said it all.
