Davido’s Billionare Dad, Dr. Adeleke, publicly debunks paternity allegations on his son by Ayo Labinjo
Billionaire businessman and father of music star Davido, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, has again addressed long-standing paternity allegations involving a woman identified as Ayo Labinjo, firmly stating that multiple DNA tests have proven his son is not the father of her child.
Dr. Adeleke explained that he could not publicly release Davido’s full DNA profile, citing security and legal risks. “I can’t share David’s DNA profile because if somebody commits a crime tomorrow, and the police comes out to say this is the DNA profile of the person, the person will go to jail,” he said.
He added that he also could not share the child’s profile because she is a minor and he lacks parental consent.
Recounting the first test, he said the laboratory confirmed Davido was not the father, leaving the child’s grandmother distraught.
Dr. Adeleke recalled that when Davido first saw the girl, he said, “Daddy I have never seen this girl before,” but insisted the DNA test was all that mattered. “If this girl is our child, I am taking her,” he said, adding that he warned Davido not to speak to the child’s mum to avoid any form of hara§§ment.
Unsatisfied with the initial outcome, Dr. Adeleke said he proposed two additional tests and covered accommodation and upkeep for Ayo, her mother and Anu. He claimed Ayo’s mother later left angrily for Ibadan before the tests were done.
He further disclosed that in 2020, the child’s aunt contacted him to revisit the issue, leading to a series of confirmatory tests.
To address claims that the child might belong to Davido’s cousin, Bred, Dr. Adeleke said five tests were conducted in total, three involving Davido and two involving Bred, all of which returned negative results.
When accusations of doctored results emerged, Dr. Adeleke said he compared the findings with Imade’s 2015 DNA test, which showed Davido’s paternity at 99.9%. “The profiles were completely different,” he said, adding that Ayo’s sister also confirmed the discrepancy.
