Davido’s ex- lawyer queries girl claiming to be singer’s daughter, insists DNA has proven otherwise
Prince Ajudua, the former lawyer of popular Nigerian singer Davido, has responded to a video of a young girl claiming to be the artist’s daughter.
The girl, identified on Instagram as Anu Adeleke, posted an update stating that she is now 11 years old and excelling in school.
Reacting to the video, Ajudua queried why the girl’s mother continues to insist that Davido is the father, despite conclusive DNA results proving otherwise.
He revealed that two separate DNA tests conducted at reputable clinics, including one chosen by the girl’s family for transparency, confirmed that Davido is not the father.
Prince Ajudua wrote:
“Which Davido please? After DNA tests at not one but TWO reputable clinics (one which Dr. Deji insisted your family choose for peace of mind) years ago, you are still doing this.
Why? I’m never moved to comment publicly but this is extremely unfair to both the Adelekes and the child.
“Please give it a rest. Once again, wish you and your family the best.”
The lawyer’s comment sparked mixed reactions online:
@elena_nel21: “Even as a Wizkid fan ❤️, please leave David alone. What is it now? Y’all are just looking for a way to bring him down. It’s never a crime to be a rich kid, ahn ahn, kilodé gan?”
@nene_george: “We the online family members were not informed about the DNA testing and the results. We wanna see it asap .”
@stella_acs__: “This mother has fed her child big false hopes .”
@hypemanguru: “Just imagine! A mother pushing her child to another man at all costs. If dem nor dey beat una, body nor dey sweet una.”
@suenmzy: “This baby fit be B-Red’s own, abi wetin be him name?”
The video has since gone viral, reigniting discussions about the case.

Unveiling The Truth: Cubana Chief Priest Clarifies Viral Gift Saga
Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, has denied claims of being related to Bethel Okechukwu, the phone repairer who gained attention after receiving a $30,000 gift from Afrobeats star Burna Boy.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that the man in the viral video, who was thought to be his brother, is not his sibling. Burna Boy had promised the $30,000 to Bethel, which led to speculation about his connection to Cubana.
In his statement, Cubana Chief Priest dismissed the rumors, referring to the viral video as a “skit” made by content creators. He further stated that he has only three biological siblings, all of whom are financially independent and do not rely on him.
This statement comes after a heated feud between Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest earlier in the week, which garnered significant attention online.

Kano Gov’t suspends Kannywood actress over indecent dressing
Kano Censors Board has suspended actress Samha Inuwa from acting and appearing in Kannywood movies for one year.
The board accused the actress of posting pictures of herself in indecent attire.
The suspension is part of the Kano State Censorship Board’s efforts to maintain moral integrity in the Kannywood film industry and ensure compliance with its rules and regulations.
Top actresses like Rahama Sadau and Nafeesat Abdullahi were also suspended in the past for similar accusations by the board.
In a statement issued by Abdullahi Sulaiman, the Information Officer for the Kano State Censorship Board, on Saturday, it accused the actress of not heeding the board’s several warnings
“The actress had been repeatedly warned about her inappropriate attire, vulgar displays, and offensive language in some of her videos.
“Samha Inuwa had been repeatedly cautioned about her crude dressing and vulgar displays, but she continued to flout the board’s regulations.
The statement said, “In addition to the suspension, the board has revoked her licence and halted the censorship of any films featuring her.
“The board reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all films, writings, and other forms of expression align with the state’s religious values, cultural norms, and moral standards.
However, the board has not publicly disclosed the specific comments or images deemed indecent or violating its regulatory ethics, leaving the nature of the offence unclear.
The 27-year-old actress has appeared in many Kannywood movies, including Fansa, where she starred alongside Ali Nuhu.
She has also appeared in Shekarar Take, Ta’addanci, Mariya, Wutar Kara, and Matan Zamani, among others.
She also won the Best Actress Award, Kannywood, in the City People Awards in 2018.
