Davido Takes Social Media Action Against Dele Momodu Following Custody Comment
Nigerian music superstar Davido has made a subtle yet significant move on social media by unfollowing media mogul Dele Momodu on Instagram. This action was discovered shortly after Momodu posted a reassuring message about the ongoing family tensions, adding a new layer to the unfolding drama surrounding the custody battle with Sophia Momodu.
Background of the Custody Dispute
The development follows a dramatic week at the Lagos State High Court, where Davido reportedly lost his composure during a heated cross-examination in the custody proceedings. Davido later clarified that he had sought joint custody, not full custody, of his daughter Imade. In an emotional statement, he announced his decision to drop the case, assuring his daughter that she would grow up knowing he fought for her.
Interestingly, checks reveal that Momodu is still following Davido on Instagram at the time of this report, highlighting the one-sided nature of this social media rift.
Dele Momodu's Role and Past Interventions
This is not the first time Dele Momodu has publicly weighed in on the matter. In 2024, when Davido filed for joint custody, Momodu disclosed that Sophia had been primarily responsible for their daughter's welfare. He also revealed that he attempted to mediate by involving Davido's father, Deji Adeleke, and his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, offering solutions within their capacity.
Sophia Momodu herself famously cut ties with her uncle in 2023 over his public support for the Adelekes, indicating a history of familial discord.
Legal Developments and Allegations
In related news, Ebelechukwu Enedah, the lawyer representing Sophia Momodu, has filed a petition against Davido. The petition alleges that the singer harassed, intimidated, and cyberbullied her through text messages, phone calls, and threats to life during and after court proceedings. This adds a serious legal dimension to the already contentious situation.
Positive Reunion Amidst the Conflict
On a brighter note, Davido recently shared the good news of his reunion with his first daughter, Imade, in a viral post online. The post included lovely pictures showing Imade with her father, grandfather, and uncle. Fans praised the music star for his efforts to be in his daughter's life and urged Sophia Momodu to appreciate his attempts.
The ongoing saga continues to captivate public attention, blending elements of celebrity gossip, family disputes, and legal battles in a high-profile Nigerian entertainment story.
