Sophia Momodu isn’t taking her custody battle with singer Davido slightly as she has released a WhatsApp conversation between her and the singer’s father, Adedeji Adeleke.
In the chat, Sophia Momodu had responded to Davido’s father suggestion that Imade spend 2023 Christmas with his family, which she declined, stating that she already had her plans for her daughter. Sophia stated that she would need at least 2 months’ notice, as well as Davido carrying out his responsibilities to enable her allow Imade spend Christmas with them in the future.
Replying to her message, Davido’s father had expressed understanding as he noted how the notice was short. However, he emphasised that for Imade’s well-being, she and Davido must have joint custody of their daughter. He assured her that Davido would continue to carry out his responsibilities, such as paying her school fees and lesson fees, paying N1 million monthly upkeep, paying her medical fees and contributing N5 million towards her accommodation.
Sophia had responded, informing him that those mentioned above weren’t enough to cover Imade’s needs sufficiently.

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. Sophia had responded to the suit, debunking his claims, 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, citing 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 was 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 he fought for him.
