Nigerian award-winning singer, Davido, has announced that he is withdrawing his ongoing custody case against Sophia Momodu, the mother of his daughter Imade Adeleke, saying he only sought joint custody and not full care of the child.
In a series of posts on his official X and Instagram handles, the Afrobeats star said there was “nothing to celebrate” in the legal battle and that his decision to drop the suit was made for the well‑being of his daughter.
“Never asked for full custody … I asked for joint custody,” he wrote. He added: “Nobody won, nobody lost but Imade … so I don’t know why some people are celebrating. There’s nothing to celebrate.”
Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke, also criticised a lawyer he named in the posts, accusing her of making the courtroom fight more difficult.
In a post directed at @abelachukwu, he wrote: “I disgraced you in the courtroom … I was teaching you your work … you couldn’t even take it, and then went on to mention my son. Like I said in the courtroom, I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever … you are a wicked human being.” The lawyer Davido referenced, whose real name is Ebelechukwu Egeonu Enedah, has not publicly responded as of the time of this report.
