Davido and Imade Adeleke Reunited Amidst Custody Dispute.
In a recent development to the ongoing custody battle between Nigerian Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, the singer has shared a heartwarming reunion photo with his daughter, Imade Adeleke. This comes after a period of intense legal proceedings and public scrutiny surrounding the custody of their child.
Davido initiated legal action in April 2024, filing a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court seeking custody of Imade. The suit was reportedly filed due to the singer’s claims of being denied access to his daughter. In response, Sophia Momodu submitted a comprehensive counter-affidavit, alleging that Davido had neglected his paternal responsibilities after she ceased their sexual relationship.
The public dispute drew further attention when Sophia’s uncle, veteran journalist Dele Momodu, addressed the matter in a detailed Facebook post. He revealed that the court had referred the case to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in an attempt to reach a settlement outside of the courtroom.
Adding a positive turn to the saga, Davido posted a photograph on Wednesday night showing him reunited with Imade, captioning it “Best day of my life.” This public display suggests a potential thaw in the strained relationship between the parents, offering hope for an amicable resolution regarding Imade’s custody and well-being. The outcome of the ADR process remains to be seen, but this reunion signals a potentially positive step forward for all parties involved.
