The first baby mama of Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Davido, Sophia Momodu, has reportedly filed a counter affidavit opposing the DMW boss’ request for joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
New Telegraph recalls that days before his traditional wedding, Davido filed a suit seeking joint custody of his daughter, alleging that Sophia was denying him access and extorting money from him.
The singer claimed that although he once had a relationship with Momodu, it ended years ago, and they had agreed to co-parent their child.

He, however alleged that this arrangement had not been honoured, stating that Sophia rejected his house offer and demanded a monthly rent of N5 million, among other things.
In response, Sophia said that she had an affair with Davido from 2020-2022 while he was dating Chioma.
“She denied the claims of denying him access to their daughter, Imade, revealing that Davido had never attempted to see her and had abandoned her because she refused to have sex with him.
Recent reports indicate that Sophia has filed a 102-paragraph affidavit to contest Davido’s bid for joint custody.
Her legal team filed the affidavit, Dr Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
The next hearing for the estranged couple is scheduled for Friday, July 5, 2024.
