Davido, Sophia and daughter 


The legal fireworks between popular music star, David Adeleke, aka Davido, and his babymama,  Sophia Momodu over the custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke will begin today.


Davido had filed on April 17, 2024, a petition,  LD/1587PMC/2024,  seeking a court order granting him joint custody of his daughter, Imade, and unrestricted access to her.


Amongst others, he states that his relationship with Sophia Momodu, Imade’s mother, ended several years ago;  That he had consistently fulfilled his financial responsibilities towards their child’s well-being, demonstrating his commitment to Imade’s care and support; And by seeking joint custody and unfettered access, he aims  to ensure a continued active role in his daughter’s life.


Davido also alleged that Momodu demanded he pay the nanny she hired a monthly salary of $800, equivalent to $19,600 annually, which he deemed excessive.


Momodu, in her response to the singer’s petition, filed a 102 paragraphs of counter affidavit via her legal team Dr Anthony Idigbe SAN  and Dr Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
