The ongoing paternity controversy involving music superstar Davido and his alleged teenage daughter, Anu Adeleke, has taken another dramatic turn. Ayo Labinjoh, the young woman's mother, has issued a strong public response to a recent press conference held by Davido's billionaire father, Dr. Deji Adeleke.
Mother's Fiery Response to Adeleke Family Claims
In a detailed post on her daughter's Instagram account, Labinjoh directly addressed several allegations made by the Adeleke family during their widely-publicized press conference. Dr. Deji Adeleke had publicly stated that Anu is not his biological granddaughter and made specific claims about who controls the teenager's social media presence.
Denial of Social Media Management Claims
Labinjoh firmly denied the assertion that controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo operates her daughter's Instagram account. "Kemi Olunloyo is not the one handling my daughter's account," she stated emphatically in her social media post. This contradicts Olunloyo's own previous statements about her involvement with the account.
The mother also addressed claims about communication between her family and the Adelekes, specifically mentioning her sister Titi. Labinjoh revealed that she discovered her elder sister had allegedly been in contact with the Adeleke family since 2020, questioning whether Titi provided Davido with her contact information and suggesting financial motives behind these interactions.
Safety Concerns and Direct Warning
In perhaps the most serious portion of her statement, Labinjoh issued a stark warning regarding personal safety. She explicitly stated that if anything happens to her, her mother, or her daughter Anu, Davido's father should be held responsible by law enforcement authorities. This dramatic declaration adds a new layer of tension to the already heated family dispute.
Background of the Paternity Controversy
The conflict centers around claims that Anu Adeleke is Davido's biological daughter, allegations the singer and his family have consistently denied. The situation gained renewed attention when the teenager publicly requested a DNA test from the award-winning musician.
Labinjoh clarified several historical details in her response, including confirming that Kemi Olunloyo did initially create her daughter's Instagram account in 2019. She also denied ever meeting with Davido's father before 2020 for additional DNA testing and revealed she no longer resides in Ibadan but travels internationally for business purposes.
Public Reaction and Social Media Response
Nigerian social media users have been actively discussing Labinjoh's latest statements, with many expressing skepticism about her claims regarding account management. Several commenters challenged her to provide video evidence that she controls her daughter's Instagram page rather than Kemi Olunloyo.
One user commented: "What about video evidence Ayo? Can you do a video recording that you are the one with this page and you have no contact with aunty Kemi?" Another added: "We need the handler to go live before we'll believe Kemi isn't the one behind this page."
Broader Context of Celebrity Paternity Disputes
This case highlights the complex dynamics that often surround paternity claims involving high-profile Nigerian celebrities. The public nature of the dispute, with multiple parties making conflicting statements through various media channels, has captivated entertainment followers across the country.
Other celebrities and media personalities have weighed in on the situation, including popular media figure Daddy Freeze, who previously commented on the paternity saga involving his friend Davido. The controversy continues to generate significant discussion about celebrity responsibility, family dynamics, and the intersection of personal and public lives in Nigeria's entertainment industry.
As the situation develops, all eyes remain on the key figures involved, awaiting further developments in this ongoing family drama that has captured national attention.
