Award-winning music star Davido has fired back at his first babymama, Sophia Momodu, for bringing up his dead son, Ifeanyi.
Kemi Filani reported that a few days before Davido’s traditional wedding to Chioma, 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.
In new reports from their ongoing custody battle, Sophia had filed a 102-paragraph affidavit to oppose the singer 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 via his Instagram story, Davido noted how Sophia is constantly bringing up the death of his child at any point just 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 as he gave her custody of their daughter, reminding her that Imade wouldn’t be a child forever. Expressing his love for Imade, he told Sophia to enjoy her.
“You’re constantly bringing up the death of my child at any point u can to just remind us of this tragedy that haunts us every day of our lives. Imade will grow up to see I fought for her. As for now, u can have her.
P.S. She won’t be a child forever. Enjoy. I made Aurora Adeleke! Your father loves you”.
In another post, sending a message to social media users, he noted how all he was asking for was joint custody of his daughter, yet because it involved him, they were making a fuss over it.
“All I ask for is JOINT CUSTODY!! And nothing else! But cus it’s Davido, y’all wanna act like y’all can’t read. Smh. I’m off this! Y’all be blessed and I pray this never happens to you”.
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.
