The ongoing public dispute between Afrobeats superstar Davido and Anu Adeleke, the teenager who claims to be his biological daughter, has taken a new, emotional turn. In a fresh statement, Anu has directly challenged the singer's account of multiple DNA tests and revealed distressing details of his alleged reaction to her quest for answers.
Anu Adeleke Questions Davido's Evolving DNA Test Narrative
At the heart of the renewed controversy is a significant inconsistency highlighted by Anu. She pointed out that Davido initially told the public he had conducted two DNA tests, which he said proved he was not her father. However, in his recent response to her public appeal for clarity, the singer stated he had actually undergone five separate tests—three initiated by him and two chosen by her team—all returning negative results.
Anu expressed confusion over this discrepancy, asking how the number of tests could have increased. She specifically mentioned Davido's claim that one test occurred on her 10th birthday. Countering this, Anu stated that, according to her mother, only one test was ever conducted, arranged by Chief Dr. Deji Adeleke, and that this sole test was "fake" or doctored to produce a negative outcome.
Allegations of Threats and Public Bullying
Beyond the DNA test debate, Anu Adeleke's latest message conveyed deep emotional hurt over Davido's alleged conduct. The teenager said she was "devastated" by the singer's response, which she characterized as a public outburst. She claimed she never expected to be "cursed out and bullied" by the man from whom she was simply seeking the truth about her paternity.
She made a serious allegation that Davido threatened to have her mother imprisoned. Anu also stated that the singer used demeaning language to refer to her publicly, despite the fact that she claims her mother never even met Davido. These actions, she implied, have compounded the pain of years of bullying from schoolmates who mocked her whenever she identified Davido as her father.
Public Reaction and Calls for Resolution
The saga has sparked intense debate on social media, with many Nigerians weighing in on the sensitive matter. Some commentators have expressed sympathy for the teenager, urging Davido to consider a new, transparent DNA test to provide closure for all parties involved, especially the young girl caught in the middle.
One social media user, @phasweety, appealed for compassion, suggesting that Davido's wife should advise him to take the test for the sake of the "heartbreaking" situation. Another user, @closetmaestro, argued that now that the girl is older, a re-conducted DNA test would not be a bad idea to finally settle the matter.
Others, however, advised Anu to focus on her future. User @mhiz_horlyday suggested that if Davido insists she is not his daughter, the best course might be to move on and channel her energy into becoming a great person, noting that many people succeed without a father figure.
The conflict remains unresolved, with Anu Adeleke continuing to seek acknowledgment and Davido maintaining his denial while vowing to hold her mother accountable for the claims. The situation underscores the painful personal conflicts that can erupt into public view in the age of social media, especially when involving high-profile celebrities like Davido.
