Media aide to Delta State Governor Ossai Ovie Success has slammed Sophia Momodu over her custody battle with Davido.
Taking to his Instagram page, he expressed disappointment in her for using the singer’s tragic loss as a reason to deny him custody of their daughter. According to him, using the death of his son as a justification is insensitive and unacceptable, given the pain and grief the family has experienced.
He stated that it’s essential to approach the custody battles with empathy and respect rather than exploiting a sensitive topic like the loss of a child. He added that though he isn’t against Sophia’s decision to seek custody through the courts, she strongly believes that Davido’s son’s demise should not be used as a reason, regardless of the circumstances.
He added that people should strive to be compassionate and avoid indirectly mocking other’s pain.
“I’m disappointed in Sophia Momodu’s decision to cite Davido’s tragic loss as a reason to deny him custody of their daughter.

While I am not against Sophia’s decision to seek custody through the courts, I strongly believe that Davido’s son’s demise should not be used as a reason, regardless of the circumstances.

This is coming hours after Sophia had filed a 102-paragraph affidavit to oppose the singer’s seeking joint custody of their daughter. She cited reasons such as the death of his son, Ifeanyi, his controversial lifestyle and his love for using their daughter to get back at her as reasons for opposing him.
Reacting to it, Davido noted how Sophia is constantly bringing up the death of his child at any point to remind them of the tragedy that haunts them every day of their lives. The singer noted how his daughter would grow up to know she fought for him.
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.
