Sophia Momodu, the first babymama of award-winning singer Davido, has allegedly filed a counter affidavit to oppose his seeking joint custody of their daughter.
Kemi Filani reported that a few days before his traditional wedding, Davido had filed a suit, seeking joint custody of his daughter, as he claimed Sophia was denying him access to her and extorting money from him. He narrated that though he had a relationship with Momodu, the relationship had ended some years ago while they resolved to take care of their child; unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. He claimed Sophia rejected his house offer and demanded he pay a N5 million monthly rent for her house, among others.
Responding to it, Sophia said she had an affair with Davido from 2020-2022 while he was dating Chioma. She debunked his claims of denying him access to his daughter, as she revealed that Davido had never made any attempt to meet with Imade and had abandoned her because she refused to have sex with him.
Now reports claim that the mother of one had filed a 102-paragraph affidavit to oppose the singer seeking joint custody of their daughter. The affidavit was filed through her legal team, Dr Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
The next hearing for the estranged couple is slated for Friday, 5th of July, 2024.
The news has left many divided as they questioned why Sophia doesn’t want her daughter to have access to the singer.

Recall that things turned sour between Davido and Sophia after the singer publicly declared love for his now wife, Chioma Rowland, and reunited with her. This left Sophia infuriated, and she shared a post about a cat not taking rubbish from a dog. She later went on an extensive rant, accusing him of financially abusing her.
She reignited their co-parenting drama in December last year after she shared a screenshot of an emotional chat between her daughter and her grandmother, where she expressed heartbreak over her brother, Ifeanyi’s death, and her father’s neglect, which had caused her profound sadness.
