Pained singer, Davido finally takes a bow, says, baby mama Sophia can take custody of their daughter
Apparently, Nigerian singer, Davido, is in pains as he publicly addressed the ongoing child custody battle with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, a matter is currently a subject of litigation before the court.
Taking to his X handle on Friday evening, Davido expressed his frustrations, stating:
“Your constantly bringing up the death of my child at any point u can to just remind us of this tragedy that haunts us everyday of our lives .. Imade will grow up to see I fought for her .. as for now u can have her .. P.S she won’t be a child forever .. enjoy .
In a subsequent tweet, he added, “All I asked for was ‘joint custody’ but cus it’s Davido yall wanna act like yall can’t read! SMH I’m off this … yall be blessed and I pray this never happens to you.”
Sophia Momodu had filed her defense in the lawsuit initiated by Davido over the custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke. The counter-affidavit, comprising 102 paragraphs, was submitted by her legal team led by Anthony Idigbe, SAN of Punuka Attorney and Dr. Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
In her filing to the Lagos State High Court in Sabo, Yaba, Sophia argued against granting Davido custody of their daughter, citing his unavailability and inability to provide adequate care for their daughter. She claimed that throughout their relationship, Davido never demonstrated genuine commitment or love towards Imade, often using access to her as a precondition for his sexual desires.
Momodu’s affidavit states, “He always used the condition of making myself available for his sexual pleasures as a precondition to visit our daughter or show some fatherly love to her.”
Davido recently filed a suit, marked LD/1587PMC/2024, seeking joint custody and unrestricted access to Imade. In his legal action, he contends that he has consistently met his financial obligations towards their child, despite facing what he describes as unreasonable demands from Sophia intended to harass and frustrate him.
In response, Momodu’s legal team has dismissed the singer’s allegations, asserting that Davido had, by his own choice, not seen their daughter since July 2022. Momodu further claimed she has borne the sole responsibility for Imade over the past two years, while Davido portrayed himself on social media as a supportive and active father.

Angela Okorie’s ex-boyfriend, known as Oil Money, has responded after the actress called him out on social media for allegedly cheating on her with her Nollywood colleagues.
In a private chat with popular Nigerian critic, Radiogad, Oil Money revealed that Angela is 7 years older than him. He claimed he was only helping her out in the relationship, but she became ungrateful and started acting up.
“She always talks too much and brags. She’ll be 50 this year but acts like a 22-year-old. Even my 20-year-old baby mama is more mature than her,” he said.
Oil Money also said his family never supported the relationship and accused Angela of bringing different men to the house, calling them “fans” or “workers.”
According to him, Angela begged to visit him in London just last week, but he refused.
“She has nothing to bring to the table. I keep blocking her and she keeps coming back,” he added.
