Sophia Momodu has publicly reacted to the recent custody battle with Afrobeats star Davido, offering what many interpreted as a subtle but pointed response after the singer announced he had withdrawn his suit.
The development comes amid heightened public attention following Davido’s series of online outbursts tied to the dispute over their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
The protracted legal disagreement between the former couple had centred on custody arrangements for Imade, with both parties locked in proceedings at the Lagos State High Court. While details of the court’s internal deliberations remain limited, Davido recently disclosed that he decided to drop the case, citing personal reasons for stepping back from the legal fight.
In the wake of that announcement, Sophia shared a post on Friday night that quickly gained traction online. In a video circulating across social media platforms, the brand influencer appeared joyful, dancing as she reflected on her faith and personal journey through the dispute. The tone of the post suggested relief and quiet triumph without directly referencing Davido.

Accompanying the video was a Bible verse—Psalm 68:5—which reads: “A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.” Sophia added that she and God have a covenant, stating that He had made promises to her that she has seen fulfilled repeatedly. She punctuated the message with the hashtag “Trust God Always” and the word “Happiness” in bold letters.
Her reaction immediately drew mixed responses from fans and observers. While some supporters praised her for leaning on faith and maintaining composure amid public scrutiny, others interpreted the post as a veiled statement about the outcome of the custody case. The phrase “My Idolo’s Regret,” which surfaced in online conversations around the post, further fueled speculation and debate.
The custody dispute has been one of the most closely watched celebrity legal battles in recent months, particularly as Davido’s public comments added an emotional dimension to what is typically a private family matter. Legal analysts often note that high-profile custody cases can become complicated when amplified on social media, especially where a minor is involved.
