Sophia Momodu, the mother of singer Davido's oldest child, has responded after a SnapChat user accused her of selling her body to survive. The accusation came from a user identified as Debby, who posted a message on SnapChat asking: "For how long would you keep selling your body to live?"
Sophia's Swift Response
In a swift rebuttal, Sophia addressed Debby directly, saying: "Debby Adegoke I've just arrived please. Let me breathe before you start with your weird projections & stalking! Ah ah, una no dey tire???" Her response highlighted her frustration with the unsolicited accusation and what she perceived as harassment.
Why Not Press Charges?
A follower later asked Sophia why she wouldn't simply report the cyber bullies to the authorities and have them arrested. Sophia explained that her past experiences have shown her that pursuing legal action is often "pointless" and that she is currently too busy to engage in such processes. This response underscores the challenges many public figures face in dealing with online harassment and the often inadequate legal recourse available.
Background on Sophia Momodu
Sophia Momodu is best known as the mother of Imade Adeleke, Davido's first child. She has frequently been the target of online scrutiny and trolling, particularly in relation to her personal life and relationship with the music star. Despite the constant attention, Sophia has maintained a relatively low profile, focusing on her career and family.
The Impact of Cyber Bullying
This incident highlights the pervasive issue of cyber bullying in Nigeria, particularly targeting public figures. According to a 2024 report by the Nigeria Cybercrime Prevention Council, over 40% of Nigerian social media users have experienced some form of online harassment. The psychological toll can be severe, leading to anxiety, depression, and in extreme cases, self-harm. Sophia's decision to ignore the trolls rather than pursue legal action reflects a common sentiment among victims who feel that the justice system is ill-equipped to handle such cases effectively.
