Sophia Momodu, the mother of music superstar Davido's first child, has broken her silence after facing criticism about her daughter Imade's absence from the singer's 33rd birthday celebrations in Atlanta.
Protective Mother Responds to Criticism
In a heartfelt post on her Snapchat page, Sophia directly addressed a netizen who claimed she had prevented Imade from attending her father's birthday party. The social media personality expressed frustration with what she called a "false narrative" that has persisted for over a decade.
"You people have been doing this false narrative thing for over 10 years now," Sophia wrote. "And while I try to be as graceful as I can, I'm also a very protective mother. Say whatever you want about me, it's ok. But leave my child alone. This is non-negotiable."
Imade "Not a Bargaining Chip"
The mother's most powerful statement came when she declared that her daughter should not be used as leverage in any situation. "Imade is not a bargaining chip for her mother to conform," she emphasized, making it clear that she prioritizes her daughter's wellbeing above public opinion.
The response comes as videos from Davido's birthday celebration showed his second daughter, Hailey Adeleke, enjoying the festivities in Atlanta. The visible presence of one daughter and absence of another sparked curiosity among fans and followers.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
Sophia's emotional defense has generated significant discussion online, with netizens taking strong positions on both sides of the issue.
One user, sweetestposh21, commented: "This sophia is very predictable... Last two weeks imade her daughter was trending with davido back to back..you wount see sophia write all these but once she's sees that Hailey or chioma is trending....she will start wahala."
Another commenter, allibaloguntobi, expressed skepticism: "I really don't pray for a Sophia momodu in any man's life. She can even be the one that sent or told someone to send that message to her so she can reply and trend again. She likes the attention she gets."
However, some critics were more direct in their disapproval, with davina_dennis1 stating: "Sophia is David biggest mistake I'm sure he's regretting it," while n_n_e_ka described her as "so bitter she can't even hide it."
The situation highlights the challenges faced by children of celebrities growing up in the public eye, with their every movement and absence becoming subject to public scrutiny and speculation.
