Nigerian fashion entrepreneur and celebrity Sophia Momodu has set social media abuzz after sharing a concerning private message from a potential suitor that has reignited discussions about dating culture in Lagos.
The Steamy Message That Sparked Concern
Taking to her Snapchat channel on November 14, 2025, the mother of musician Davido's first child revealed a screenshot of a message from a man she had met just hours earlier. The message read: "My Sophia, you have ruined me by exposing me to the heaven of you. I constantly want to be in your presence. Are you busy today?"
Sophia expressed alarm at the intensity of the message, particularly given how recently she had met the sender. The fashion enthusiast didn't hold back in her assessment of the situation, calling it "love bombing to the Pro Max" and declaring "No thanks" to such advances.
Sophia's Candid Reaction to Lagos Men
In her response shared with followers, Sophia Momodu revealed this incident reflects why she often tells friends about her apprehension toward Lagos men. She wrote: "I always tell my friends, I'm scared of Lagos men, because sending this to someone you just met a few hours ago is wild. My Sophia nke? How?? It's giving love bombing Pro Max. No thanks."
The businesswoman questioned the appropriateness of such intense affection being expressed so quickly after an initial meeting. Her post immediately resonated with many social media users who shared similar experiences with aggressive dating approaches in Nigeria's bustling commercial capital.
Previous Social Media Breaks and Family Priorities
This isn't the first time Sophia Momodu has made headlines for her social media activity. In a previous revelation, she explained why she no longer shares photos of her daughter, Imade Adeleke, online. When a fan commented "To post Imade na war," Sophia responded honestly about her protective instincts as a mother.
"It's a real battle. I find that I've become even more protective as she's growing," she revealed about her decision to keep her pre-teen daughter away from public social media exposure.
Sophia had also taken a significant break from social media platforms months earlier, reportedly following the tragic death of Davido's son, Ifeanyi. Her return to Instagram after three months was met with enthusiasm from fans who praised her beauty and resilience.
Standing Her Ground Against Online Criticism
The celebrity entrepreneur has also shown she won't be silenced when it comes to expressing her opinions online. When a female follower advised her to ignore online trolls, saying "Soso, don't reply to these people, they aren't worth it at all. Love from London," Sophia offered a thoughtful rebuttal.
She highlighted what she perceives as a pattern of attempting to silence women, particularly Black women, writing: "Uju, have you noticed that there's an obsession with telling black women or just women in general, to stay quiet? And it's mostly women like you who are used to carrying out these atrocities against fellow women. Love from Earth."
Through these various social media interactions, Sophia Momodu continues to establish herself as a voice unafraid to address issues ranging from parenting in the public eye to dating dynamics in modern Nigerian society.
