The celebrated musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage as Davido, has made indications that he intends to give his mother, Sophia Momodu, custody of his first kid, Imade.
This comes after Momodu recently submitted a counter-affidavit in which she stated Davido was unsuitable to nurture their daughter.
In response, she said that his house is not a safe place for a young girl to be, citing Davido’s son Ifeanyi’s untimely death in 2022 as proof.
“The applicant cannot take proper care of our daughter because he lives a controversial lifestyle (negative media attention) that will expose our daughter to more negative trauma at her tender age,” stated part of the paperwork that is currently making the rounds on social media.
She went on to say that Davido shouldn’t have custody of the child for a number of reasons, including the possibility that his company would have a detrimental effect on the youngster and her disagreement with the child’s therapy and his marriage to Chioma.
In response, Davido wrote on X, stating that his son’s murder still haunts him every day and hinting that talking about it simply serves to remind him of the tragedy.
